Every time the wheel moves, the control arm swings on its bushings. When they are soft or worn, the arm shifts under load, the alignment changes as the car moves, and steering and braking feel less precise. A stiffer bushing cuts that unwanted movement while still letting the arm pivot freely. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 3 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the 335i xDrive 3 Series, see Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Rear Subframe Mount Bushing, and Front and Rear Essential Vehicle Kit.
Features
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Material: Made from polyurethane.
- Finish: Powder coat finish guards the metal against chips and corrosion.
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
