The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Lower Control Arm Bushing Set is a high-performance upgrade designed for the 2015-2016 BMW 228i xDrive (F22/F23). This set replaces the factory rubber bushings with low friction, teflon-lined spherical bearings, enhancing suspension response and reducing deflection under heavy loads. The use of the largest FK bearings in this application ensures increased durability and longevity, while the machined housing minimizes NVH and provides a precise fit. These bushings are engineered to improve handling characteristics by allowing more precise control of the lower control arm movement, resulting in improved steering feel and stability during aggressive driving or track use.

Specifically designed for the rear lower control arm knuckle, these bushings are a direct replacement for OEM components, offering a significant upgrade over stock rubber bushings. They are suitable for street and track applications, providing enhanced performance and responsiveness. Installation involves replacing the factory bushings with these spherical bearings, which are compatible with the specified BMW model years and chassis. The set includes all necessary components for a straightforward bolt-on upgrade, making it ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved suspension precision and durability in their BMW 228i xDrive.

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.
