Product Details
This Whiteline Front Lower Radius Arm Bushing fits the 2014-2016 BMW M235i 2 Series. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Part number KCA473. The kit contains 2 bushings, 2 tubes, adjusting tool, an install guide, and grease. Whiteline's note for this fit: Adds +/- 0.5 degrees Caster. Does not Suit xDrive Models.
A standard bushing only restores what the factory built. This one is designed to change the geometry, adding positive caster and changing front anti-dive behavior, in addition to resisting the deflection that soft rubber allows.
Expect a difficult job of about 3 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Other Whiteline parts we list for the M235i 2 Series: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Rear Subframe Mount Bushing, and Front Sway Bar Link Assembly.
Features
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Self-lubricating: Internal grease reservoirs keep the bushing lubricated as it works.
- Compliance voids: Voids molded into the bushing allow suspension articulation and soften sharp road inputs.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
