Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Restricted shares granted in lieu of directors' retainer and meeting fees, pursuant to ArvinMeritor's 2004 Directors Stock Plan.
(2)	Held by the issuer to implement restrictions on transfer unless and until certain conditions are met.
(3)	On January 3, 2005, a Form 4 was filed reporting the issuance of restricted share units to Mr. Newlin in lieu of cash retainer and meeting fees. In fact, Mr. Newlin should have received restricted shares of common stock rather than restricted share units. This form amends the original report on Form 4 to reflect this correction, by eliminating the issuance of 569 restricted share units, reporting the issuance of 569 restricted shares of common stock and adjusting his total holdings accordingly.
(4)	Restricted share units vest and are paid or settled after the earliest of (1) six years from the date of award, (2) ten days after retirement from the Board after reaching age 72 and having at least 3 years of service as a director, and (3) the date of ceasing to be a director by reason of the antitrust laws, compliance with conflict of interest policies, death, disability or other circumstances that the Board deems not to be adverse to the best interests of ArvinMeritor.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
