Product Details
Looking for a front radius arm bushing for your 2017-2019 BMW 230i 2 Series? The Whiteline Front Lower Radius Arm Bushing is made for it. Included: 2 bushings, 2 tubes, adjusting tool, an install guide, and grease. Whiteline part number: KCA473. It is listed for the F22/F23 chassis. Whiteline's note for this fit: Adds +/- 0.5 degrees Caster. Does not Suit xDrive Models. It goes on the front of the vehicle.
This kit does more than replace rubber. Its offset design moves the pivot point of the lower control arm to add positive caster and change how the front end resists dive under braking, which improves straight-line stability and turn-in feel.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 3 hours of work listed. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 230i 2 Series: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Rear Subframe Mount Bushing, and Front Sway Bar Link Assembly.
Features
- Grease: Supplied with molybdenum disulfide grease for extended service life.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Compliance voids: Molded voids give the bushing room to flex where it needs to.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
- Caster: Adds caster for steadier steering and better tire contact in roll.
- Alignment adjustment: Adds adjustment so the alignment can be optimized.
