Product Details
Owners of the 2014-2016 BMW 228i 2 Series can fit the Whiteline Front Lower Radius Arm Bushing (Double Offset). You receive 2 bushings, 2 tubes, adjusting tool, an install guide, and grease. Chassis code: F22/F23. Whiteline's note for this fit: Adds +/- 0.5 degrees Caster. Does not Suit xDrive Models. Whiteline part number: KCA473. It goes on the front of the vehicle.
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.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 3 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Rear Subframe Mount Bushing, and Front Sway Bar Link Assembly for the 228i 2 Series.
Features
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Compliance voids: Voids molded into the bushing allow suspension articulation and soften sharp road inputs.
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
