The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Upper Arm Bushing Kit for the 1992-1999 BMW 318is (E36) is a high-performance upgrade designed to enhance suspension precision and handling. This kit replaces the stock rubber bushings with low-friction spherical bearings, specifically FK Racing Bearings with a self-lubricating Teflon liner, ensuring long-lasting durability and minimal maintenance. By eliminating bushing flex and reducing bind and friction, these monoball bushings maintain optimal suspension geometry under load, resulting in improved steering response, better feedback, and more consistent camber and toe settings. Constructed with high-quality materials, these bushings are engineered for maximum performance and durability in demanding driving conditions.
Designed for the rear upper control arms of the E36 chassis, these bushings are suitable for 1992-1995 BMW 320i models, with fitment applicable to other E36 variants. They serve as direct replacements for the stock bushings, providing a more responsive and precise suspension setup ideal for street and track use. Installation involves replacing the original bushings with these spherical bearings, offering a bolt-on upgrade that enhances handling characteristics. The kit includes all necessary components for installation, making it suitable for enthusiasts seeking improved suspension performance and stability on their BMW E36.

Overview
Overview
SPL Parts FKS Series Rear Upper Arm Bushings (RKB) for the 1992-1995 BMW 320i (E36) replace the stock mushy rubber bushings with low-friction articulating spherical bearings, eliminating bushing flex and reducing bind/friction. This maintains optimum suspension geometry under load to improve handling and feedback, and removes any camber and toe change that can occur under load. Our Monoball Bushings feature FK Racing Bearings with a self lubricating Teflon liner for long life and maximum performance. Highly precise (machined to 1/1000th inch) CNC machined T6061 Aluminum bearing shells provide an accurate fit. Sold as complete kit for one car. Made in the USA.
