Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Control Arm Lower Outer Bushing fits the 1991-2006 BMW 325i 3 Series. The chassis code on the listing is E36/E46. Placement: rear. The part number is W62384. In the box: 2 shell bushings, 2 tubes, 2 bolts, and 4 nuts.
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. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Expect a moderate job of about 2 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. Other Whiteline parts we list for the 325i 3 Series: Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, Rear Sway Bar Link, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link.
Features
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
- Material: Made from polyurethane.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Bonded design: The bushing is bonded for extra strength under heavy loads.
- Hardware: Supplied with mounting hardware.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
