The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Lower Control Arm Bushing Set is a high-performance upgrade designed for the 2017-2021 BMW 230i (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. Constructed with machined housings and the largest FK bearings available, these bushings deliver increased durability, lower noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), and improved handling characteristics. They are engineered to provide a more direct connection between the control arm and knuckle, resulting in more precise steering and suspension articulation during aggressive driving or track use.

Designed specifically for the F22 and F23 chassis, these bushings are a direct replacement for the OEM components and are suitable for street and track applications. Installation involves replacing the existing rubber bushings with these spherical bearings, offering a significant upgrade in suspension performance. The set is ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced steering feel, improved stability, and reduced suspension bind. Compatibility is optimized for the specified model years, ensuring a proper fitment and reliable operation in demanding driving conditions.

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.
