The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Lower Control Arm Bushing Set is a high-performance upgrade designed for the 2014-2018 BMW 328d (F30/F31). This set replaces the factory rubber bushings that attach the lower control arm to the knuckle with low friction, Teflon-lined spherical bearings. The use of spherical bearings reduces deflection under heavy loads and minimizes binding as the suspension moves through its range, resulting in improved handling and responsiveness. Constructed with machined housings and large FK bearings, these bushings are engineered for increased durability, lower noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), and enhanced suspension precision.

Designed specifically for the F30/F31 chassis, these bushings are a direct replacement for the OEM components, offering a bolt-on installation that enhances vehicle performance. While originally developed for improved track and spirited driving, they are suitable for street use as well. The set is ideal for enthusiasts seeking better suspension feel, reduced deflection, and more consistent handling characteristics. Compatibility is limited to the specified model years and fitment, with no additional components required for installation. These bushings provide a significant upgrade for drivers aiming to optimize their BMW’s suspension performance.

Overview

These Rear Lower Control Arm Knuckle Bushing for the 2006-2011 BMW 323i (E90) 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

  • Enhanced Handling Precision: Provides superior steering response and control by minimizing deflection and ensuring a more direct connection between the suspension components.
  • Durable Materials: Typically made from high-strength metals and bearings, offering resistance to wear, heat, and fatigue under demanding driving conditions.
  • Improved Suspension Geometry: Maintains optimal alignment and stability, contributing to better cornering performance and overall handling.
  • Reduced Noise and Vibration: Designed to minimize noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), providing a more comfortable driving experience without sacrificing performance.
  • Easy Installation: Generally designed as a direct replacement for factory bushings, making installation straightforward with common tools and minimal modifications.
