Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Control Arm Lower Outer Bushing (Standard Repl.) fits the 1998-1999 BMW 323is 3 Series. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. Whiteline's note for this fit: Standard Replacement. The part number is W62622. It is listed for the E36 chassis. In the box: 2 shell bushings and 2 tubes.
Control arm bushings wear out quietly. Over time the rubber hardens, cracks, or tears, and the arm starts to move in ways its designers did not intend, which shows up as clunks, vague steering, or uneven tire wear. A standard replacement bushing puts the pivot back to the way the car was built.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 2 hours. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the 323is 3 Series, see Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit.
Features
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
- Corrosion protection: Plated finish keeps rust off the hardware.
- Material: Polyurethane construction.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Bonded design: The bushing is bonded for strength where loads are highest.
