The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Knuckle Bushing Kit for the 2017-2021 BMW 230i (F22/F23) is a high-performance upgrade designed to enhance suspension response and durability. This kit replaces the factory rubber bushing that attaches the lower control arm to the knuckle with a low-friction, teflon-lined spherical bearing. The use of a large FK bearing ensures increased longevity and reduced NVH, resulting in improved handling and reduced deflection under heavy loads. The machined housing provides precise fitment and robust construction, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts seeking a more responsive suspension setup.

Specifically engineered for the rear traction arm of the BMW 230i, this bushing kit is a direct replacement for the OEM component. It is suitable for street and track applications where improved suspension articulation and reduced bind are desired. Installation involves replacing the stock bushing with this spherical bearing, offering a straightforward upgrade for those looking to optimize their vehicle’s handling characteristics. The kit includes all necessary components for a secure fitment, ensuring reliable performance in demanding driving conditions.

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.
