Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Control Arm Lower Inner Bushing fits the 1991-1997 BMW 318is 3 Series. You receive 2 shell bushings and 2 tubes. Placement: rear. The part number is W62625.
A control arm bushing is the pivot where the arm joins the chassis or the wheel carrier. Factory rubber is chosen for quiet and comfort, so it squashes under braking, acceleration, and cornering and lets the arm move more than it should. A firmer replacement keeps the arm where it belongs, which steadies the alignment and gives the car a more consistent feel. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Expect a difficult job of about 4 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 318is 3 Series: Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit, and Rear Differential Mount Bushing.
