Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Radius Arm Bushing fits the 2007-2016 BMW 328i 3 Series. Whiteline's note for this fit: Adds +/- 0.5 degrees Caster. It is listed for the F30 chassis. Position: front. Order it as part number KCA430. In the box: 2 bushings and 2 tubes.
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.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 3 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 328i 3 Series: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Rear Subframe Mount Bushing, and Front Sway Bar Link Assembly.
