SPL Parts Rear Spherical Knuckle Bushing Kit

Fitment: 1992-1999 BMW 318is (E36)

Part #: SPL RKB E36

Overview

The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Knuckle Bushing Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the BMW E36 chassis, including models from 1992 to 1999. This kit replaces the factory rubber bushings with precision-engineered spherical bearings, offering a significant upgrade in suspension response and durability. Ideal for enthusiasts and racers seeking improved handling, consistent alignment, and enhanced feedback, these bushings help maintain optimal suspension geometry under load, reducing unwanted camber and toe changes during aggressive driving. Crafted for durability and precision, this kit supports your vehicle’s performance by minimizing bushing flex and friction, resulting in more predictable handling and a more connected driving experience.

Key Features

Designed with high-quality materials and advanced engineering, the SPL Rear Spherical Knuckle Bushing Kit features FK Racing Bearings with a self-lubricating Teflon liner, ensuring long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance. The spherical bearings provide a direct, low-friction articulation point that helps eliminate bushing flex, reducing bind and improving suspension response. The kit’s robust construction ensures reliable operation under demanding conditions, making it suitable for both street and track use. Its precise fitment and high-quality components help maintain proper suspension geometry, contributing to improved handling and driver feedback.

Construction & Design

The bushings are constructed from durable materials designed to withstand the stresses of high-performance driving. The spherical bearings are machined for exact fitment, ensuring a secure and stable connection that maintains alignment and reduces unwanted movement. The self-lubricating Teflon liner inside the FK Racing Bearings minimizes wear and extends service life, providing consistent performance over time.

Driving Feel & Feedback

This bushing kit enhances the vehicle’s handling by providing a more direct connection between the suspension and chassis. Drivers will notice improved steering response, increased feedback, and more predictable cornering behavior. The reduction in bushing flex helps maintain consistent alignment, especially during aggressive maneuvers, resulting in a more engaging and confident driving experience.

Installation & Fitment

Installation requires basic mechanical skills and appropriate tools. The kit is designed as a direct replacement for the stock bushings, simplifying the upgrade process. Proper alignment and torque specifications should be followed to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

What’s Included

The package includes all necessary spherical bushings, FK Racing Bearings, and hardware required for installation, providing a complete upgrade solution for your rear knuckle assembly.
