Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing (66.3mm OD Incl. Housing) fits the 1999-2000 BMW 328i 3 Series. In the box: 2 housings. The part number is W53519. Whiteline's note for this fit: Includes new housing. It is listed for the E46 chassis. Placement: front.
Every time the wheel moves, the control arm swings on its bushings. When they are soft or worn, the arm shifts under load, the alignment changes as the car moves, and steering and braking feel less precise. A stiffer bushing cuts that unwanted movement while still letting the arm pivot freely. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2.5 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 328i 3 Series: Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing.
Features
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
