The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Upper Arm Bushing Kit for the 1995-1999 BMW 318ti (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 during dynamic driving conditions. Crafted for enthusiasts seeking a more responsive and predictable chassis, these bushings deliver a significant upgrade over OEM components, especially in spirited driving or track use.

Designed specifically for the 1995-1999 BMW E36 318ti, this bushing kit is a direct replacement for the rear upper arm bushings. It is compatible with models equipped with the original suspension setup and is intended for street, track, or performance driving applications. Installation involves replacing the stock bushings with these spherical bearings, providing a bolt-on upgrade that requires basic mechanical skills. The kit includes all necessary components for a complete swap, ensuring a secure fit and reliable performance. Ideal for drivers aiming to improve handling consistency and suspension response, this upgrade is suitable for both daily driving enthusiasts and track-day participants.

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.
