Overview
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.
Standard Features
- Improved Precision: Provides enhanced steering response and accuracy by reducing flex and play compared to traditional rubber bushings.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-strength materials like aluminum or steel with spherical bearings, ensuring durability and longevity under performance conditions.
- Better Suspension Geometry: Helps maintain optimal suspension alignment, contributing to improved handling and stability during aggressive driving.
- Reduced Noise and Vibration: Designed to minimize noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), offering a more comfortable ride while enhancing performance.
- Easy Installation: Often engineered for direct replacement of factory components, facilitating straightforward installation with minimal modifications.
