What is the main benefit of replacing the stock rear trailing arm bushings?

Replacing the stock rubber bushings with these spherical bearings eliminates flex and reduces friction. This helps maintain proper suspension geometry under load, leading to improved handling, better feedback, and a more predictable feel, especially during spirited driving.

What materials are used in these bushings?

These bushings utilize FK Racing Bearings with a self-lubricating Teflon liner for durability and performance. The bearing shells are precision CNC machined from T6061 aluminum.

Do these bushings come with everything needed for installation?

The kit is sold as a complete set for one car, including the spherical bearings and aluminum shells. However, installation may require specialized tools and knowledge; refer to manufacturer instructions for details.

Product Details

This kit from SPL Parts includes everything you need to replace the stock rubber rear trailing arm bushings on your BMW E36 or E46. These stock bushings can get soft and mushy over time, leading to less precise suspension geometry. By swapping them out for these well-built spherical bearings, you'll notice a significant improvement in how your car handles, especially when you're pushing it hard.

What you're getting here are FK Racing Bearings with a self-lubricating Teflon liner, designed for long life and maximum performance. The bearing shells are CNC machined from T6061 aluminum to very tight tolerances, ensuring a precise fit. This setup eliminates the flex found in the factory rubber bushings, which helps maintain your suspension's intended alignment under load. You'll experience reduced bind and friction, leading to better feedback from the road and a more predictable feel, especially during hard cornering or braking where the stock bushings could allow unwanted toe changes.

These bushings are proudly made in the USA. They are designed to fit a wide range of BMW 3 Series models from the mid-90s through the mid-2000s, including popular examples like the E36 M3 and E46 330Ci.
