The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Knuckle Bushing Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed for the 2013-2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 3 (F30). This kit replaces the factory rubber bushing on the rear traction arm with a low-friction, teflon-lined spherical bearing, enhancing suspension response and durability. Constructed with a machined housing and the largest FK bearing possible, it reduces deflection under heavy loads and minimizes bind during suspension travel. The design aims to improve handling precision, reduce NVH, and provide a more direct connection between the control arm and knuckle, resulting in improved steering feel and stability.

This bushing kit is specifically engineered for the rear traction arm on F30 chassis BMWs from 2012 to 2015, including the 335i model. It is a direct replacement for the OEM component, offering a bolt-on installation that does not require modifications. Ideal for track enthusiasts, spirited street driving, or performance upgrades, this kit enhances suspension articulation and responsiveness. The package includes the spherical bushings and necessary hardware for installation, ensuring a reliable upgrade for those seeking improved handling and reduced suspension deflection.

Overview

These Rear Traction Arm Knuckle Bushing for the 2012-2015 BMW 335i (F30) replace the rubber factory bushing attaching the lower control arm to the knuckle with a low friction teflon-lined spherical bearing. Replacing the OEM component with this bushing will allow for less deflection under heavy load, and less bind as the arm travels through its suspension. We use the largest possible FK bearing in this location for increased longevity and lower NVH. The housing for the bearing is machined out of 6061-T6 aluminum and is CNC cut to +/- .001" tolerance to insure proper fitment.

Made in the USA.
