Front Lower Control Arm (Right) for BYD Qin PLUS, OE 12832983-00

It is the right hand arm, taken from the driver's seat looking forward, and it is the front lower one. On a right hand drive car that is the driver's side. On a left hand drive car it is the passenger side, which is why we quote it as right rather than by either of those names. Check the arm you are replacing against that before ordering. The left hand arm sits under a separate OE number if it turns out you need that one.

Both tiers are priced on this page for this arm. The Original/Genuine version is the BYD part for OE 12832983-00. The Aftermarket version is an independently produced arm made to the same fitment, with its own price shown on this page. Condition is new either way. Pick on budget and on what the person fitting it prefers to work with. If you are changing the pair, put the same tier on both sides so the front axle is matched.

That is the second reference we offer for it, DAEA-2904020, sitting on the same record as 12832983-00. Read the whole stamping rather than the letters alone, because the left hand arm carries a very similar string and the digits at the end are what separate them. Clean the metal first if it is corroded. If your stamping resolves to something outside both references, send a photograph of the old part and its label through the quote route so we can confirm it against the OE number for you.

We think so. This arm is safety critical, which puts it in the group of parts where a mistake shows up in how the car steers and stops rather than in a warning light. The mountings need setting correctly and the geometry has to be reset afterwards, and neither figure is published on this page. Book the work in with a workshop that can do the alignment at the same visit, and time the order so the car is not tied up waiting.

It runs in two parts. Delivery takes 8 to 28 days from your order to your door. The shipping cost for your country is shown at checkout before you pay. Before you order, check the OE number on your old part against the one on this page. If anything about the timing matters for a booked repair, ask through the quote route on this page.

It is a metal arm, so it has some mass to it. The packaging details are shown on this page. The boxed size and weight band sit in the product details on this page. Plan for somebody to be there to receive it, particularly if it is going to a residential address rather than to a garage. The metal also means it arrives bare and new, so keep it dry and out of the way until the day the car goes in.
