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. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Rear Subframe Mount Bushing, and Rear Lower Trailing Arm Bushing for the 228i xDrive 2 Series.
Features
- Caster: Adds caster to improve turn-in and directional stability.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
- Compliance voids: Voids molded into the bushing allow suspension articulation and soften sharp road inputs.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
