Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Lower Coil Spring Pad Bushing - +10mm Ride Height (Polyurethane Isolator) fits the 2001-2006 BMW 330xi 3 Series. The kit contains 2 bushings. The part number is W72042. It goes on the rear of the vehicle.
Spring pads are small parts with a direct effect on ride height. A worn pad lets the spring drop, while a thicker one lifts the seat by its thickness, which is an easy way to adjust a corner. This size is listed as a ride height increase, so it raises the spring seat compared with a standard-thickness pad. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Installation is rated easy, with about 1.5 hours of work listed. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the 330xi 3 Series, see Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front Strut Tower Brace Quick Release Kit.
