The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Knuckle Bushing Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed for the 2015-2016 BMW 228i xDrive (F22/F23). This kit replaces the factory rubber bushing that attaches the rear traction arm to the knuckle with a low-friction, teflon-lined spherical bearing. The use of a spherical bearing reduces deflection under heavy loads and minimizes binding as the suspension moves through its travel, resulting in improved handling precision and responsiveness. Constructed with a machined housing and a large FK bearing, this component enhances durability and longevity while reducing NVH (noise, vibration, harshness). It is engineered to provide a more direct connection between suspension components, offering better feedback and control during aggressive driving or track use.

Designed specifically for the F22/F23 chassis, this bushing kit is a direct replacement for the OEM components, ensuring a straightforward bolt-on installation. It is suitable for street, track, and performance driving applications where improved suspension articulation and reduced deflection are desired. The kit includes all necessary hardware for installation, providing a complete upgrade solution. Compatible with the rear traction arm assembly, this bushing kit is ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced handling characteristics and a more responsive driving experience on their BMW 228i xDrive.

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.
