Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Control Arm Lower Inner Bushing fits the 2001-2006 BMW 325xi 3 Series (E46). Whiteline part number: W62625. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. Included: 2 shell bushings and 2 tubes.
Bushings work out of sight, but they decide how well a suspension holds its geometry. A soft or tired control arm bushing allows play that shows up as vague steering, a wandering feel under braking, or a clunk over bumps. Fitting a firmer one takes that slack out. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 4 hours of work listed. An alignment is required after installation. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 325xi 3 Series: Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Rear Subframe Mount Bushing, and Front Strut Tower Brace.
Features

- Grease: Moly grease is supplied to prolong the life of the parts.
- Corrosion protection: Metal parts are plated to resist rust over the long term.
- Material: Built from polyurethane.
- Bonded design: A bonded design adds strength for high load applications.
