Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Inner Rear Control Arm Bushing Kit - Double Offset fits the 2001-2006 BMW 325Ci. Application note: Lower inner rear bushing (caster correction). Adds .5 degrees caster. Chassis code: E46. Order it as part number W52606. Included: 2 shell bushings and 2 bushings. Placement: front.
Caster is the forward or backward lean of the steering axis, and more positive caster generally helps stability and steering return. This control arm bushing is made to add positive caster and alter anti-dive geometry, using a bushing swap rather than a major rebuild.
Expect a difficult job of about 2.5 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the 325Ci, see Rear Differential Bushing Kit, 20mm Rear Sway Bar Bushing Kit, and 27mm Sway Bar Mount Bushing Kit.
