Product Details
For the 1997-1998 BMW 323i 3 Series, Whiteline makes the Rear Differential Mount Bushing. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. The kit contains 2 bushings, 2 tubes, an install guide, and grease. Order it as part number KDT969. It is listed for the E36 chassis.
Differential bushings take the torque reaction every time the car accelerates. When the rubber is worn or soft, the case shifts and the driveline jerks, and wheel hop becomes more likely. Stiffer bushings or inserts limit that movement. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Expect a difficult job of about 4 hours. No alignment is needed afterward. Working on the same car? We also list Front Strut Tower Brace, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit for the 323i 3 Series.
Features
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Bushing material: The bushing material is polyurethane, a firmer choice than rubber.
- Compliance voids: Voids molded into the bushing allow suspension articulation and soften sharp road inputs.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Easy to fit: Installation does not call for special skills or tools.
- Bushing compound: The bushing material stands up to oil, grease, ozone, and weather.
