The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Lower Control Arm Bushing Set is a high-performance upgrade designed for the 2017-2021 BMW 230i xDrive (F22/F23). This set replaces the factory rubber bushings with low friction, Teflon-lined spherical bearings, significantly reducing deflection under heavy loads and minimizing bind during suspension travel. Constructed with precision-machined housings and the largest FK bearings available, these bushings enhance durability, improve handling response, and lower NVH levels for a more connected driving experience. They are engineered to provide a direct upgrade over OEM components, offering increased longevity and consistent performance in demanding conditions.

These bushings are specifically designed for the rear lower control arm knuckles on the specified BMW models, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable operation. They are suitable for street and track use, providing improved suspension articulation and stability. Installation involves replacing the OEM rubber bushings with these spherical bearings, offering a straightforward bolt-on upgrade. The set is ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced handling, reduced deflection, and more precise control during aggressive driving or spirited street use. Compatibility is limited to the 2017-2021 BMW 230i xDrive (F22/F23), with no additional modifications required.

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.
