The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Upper Arm Bushing Kit for the 1996-2002 BMW Z3 (E36) is a high-performance suspension upgrade designed to enhance handling precision and stability. This kit replaces the stock rubber bushings with low-friction spherical bearings, which eliminate bushing flex and reduce bind and friction during cornering and load transfer. Constructed with FK Racing Bearings featuring a self-lubricating Teflon liner, these monoball bushings ensure long-lasting durability and consistent performance. The upgrade maintains optimal suspension geometry under load, providing improved feedback and responsiveness for spirited driving or track use.

Designed specifically for the 1996-2002 BMW Z3 (E36), this rear upper arm bushing kit is a direct replacement for the factory components. It is suitable for street, track, and performance driving applications where precise suspension tuning is desired. The installation involves replacing the existing bushings with the spherical bearing units, offering a bolt-on upgrade that does not require extensive modifications. Compatibility is confirmed for the E36 chassis, and the kit includes all necessary components for a complete upgrade, ensuring enhanced handling characteristics and reduced camber and toe change under load.

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.
