Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Radius Arm Bushing fits the 2001-2002 BMW 530i 5 Series. In the box: 2 shell bushings and 2 tubes. It is listed for the E39 chassis. Order it as part number W82977. It goes on the front of the vehicle.
Bushings work out of sight, but they decide how well a suspension holds its geometry. A soft or tired radius 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. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 2 hours of work listed. An alignment is required after installation. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 530i 5 Series: Rear Sway Bar Mount Bushing Kit and Front Sway Bar Mount Bushing.
Features
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Finish: Powder coating covers the metal for protection against chips and rust.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Material: Built from polyurethane.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
