Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Subframe Mount Bushing fits the 2009-2011 BMW 335d 3 Series. In the box: 8 bushings, 4 tubes, an install guide, and grease. Order it as part number KDT917. Position: rear.
The rear subframe is the cradle that the rear suspension arms bolt to, and the car is attached to it through rubber mounts that are soft on purpose. That softness lets the subframe shift under hard cornering or acceleration, which dulls the feel of the rear end. A firmer bushing set holds the subframe in position, so the rear responds more directly to steering and throttle.
Expect a difficult job of about 4 hours. Plan on a wheel alignment afterward. To go with it on the 335d 3 Series, see Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Heavy Duty 20mm Rear Sway Bar, and Front and Rear Essential Vehicle Kit.
Features
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
- Corrosion protection: Metal parts are plated to resist rust over the long term.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Finish: Powder coat finish guards the metal against chips and corrosion.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Bushing material: The bushing material is polyurethane, a firmer choice than rubber.
