Product Details
This Whiteline Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing (66.3mm OD Incl. Housing) fits the 2000 BMW 328Ci 3 Series. Whiteline's note for this fit: Includes new housing. Position: front. The kit contains 2 housings. Whiteline part number: W53519.
Bushings work out of sight, but they decide how well a suspension holds its geometry. A soft or tired control arm bushing allows play that shows up as vague steering, a wandering feel under braking, or a clunk over bumps. Fitting a firmer one takes that slack out. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as difficult and lists about 2.5 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the 328Ci 3 Series, see Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing.
Features
- Material: Built from polyurethane.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
