Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Trailing Arm Lower Front Bushing fits the 1997-2001 BMW 323i 3 Series. Order it as part number W61923. In the box: 4 bushings, 2 tubes, 4 washers, and grease. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. The chassis code on the listing is E36/E46.
A trailing arm bushing is the pivot where the arm joins the chassis or the wheel carrier. Factory rubber is chosen for quiet and comfort, so it squashes under braking, acceleration, and cornering and lets the arm move more than it should. A firmer replacement keeps the arm where it belongs, which steadies the alignment and gives the car a more consistent feel. 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. To go with it on the 323i 3 Series, see Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Front Strut Tower Brace, and Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing.
Features
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
- Self-lubricating: Grease reservoirs inside the bushing feed lubrication as it moves.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Easy to fit: Designed for an easy install with ordinary shop equipment.
- Material: Polyurethane construction.
