Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Radius Arm Bushing fits the 2001-2006 BMW X5 3.0i. The listing names the 3.0i trim. Placement: front. Part number W82977. It is listed for the E53 chassis. Included: 2 shell bushings and 2 tubes.
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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 2 hours. An alignment is required after installation. To go with it on the BMW X5, see 16mm Adjustable Front Camber Bolts.
Features
- Material: The part is made of polyurethane.
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Finish: A powder coated finish resists corrosion and wear.
- Bonded design: Bonding adds durability in high-load use.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
