SPL Parts 92-99 BMW 3 Series E36 / 99-05 BMW 3 Series E46 Rear Upper Control Arm Bushing

SPL Parts FKS Series Rear Upper Arm Bushings replace stock rubber bushings in 1992-1999 BMW E36, 1999-2005 BMW E46, 1996-2002 BMW Z3, and 2003-2008 BMW Z4/E85/E86 models with low-friction articulating spherical bearings. This design eliminates bushing flex and reduces bind or friction to keep suspension geometry optimal under load. Handling sharpens with better feedback and no camber or toe changes during cornering.

Key Features

  • FK Racing Bearings: Stainless steel construction with self-lubricating Teflon liner delivers long life and minimal friction for consistent performance.
  • CNC Machined T6061 Aluminum Shells: Precision-machined to 0.001 inch tolerances ensure accurate fit and durability in demanding conditions.
  • Zero Bushing Deflection: Spherical design removes rubber compliance to lock in alignment and geometry under hard cornering or braking.
  • Improved Feedback: Direct suspension response enhances driver control and tire contact on street or track.
  • Complete Vehicle Kit: Includes all bushings needed for one car with direct bolt-on installation on OEM or aftermarket arms.

Product Notes

  • Direct replacement for OEM rubber bushings with no additional modifications required.
  • Regular cleaning of bearings extends service life in dirty environments.
  • Packaged securely to prevent damage during transit.

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Press out stock bushings and press in SPL monoball assemblies using proper tools.
  • Compatible with factory control arms and most aftermarket adjustable arms.

Suspension Arm Bushings

Suspension Arm Bushings

Suspension arm bushings isolate the metal control arms and subframe from the vehicle chassis, absorbing vibration and allowing controlled suspension movement. Worn or cracked factory rubber bushings cause looseness in the suspension geometry, increased road noise, and imprecise steering feel. Quality replacement and upgraded bushings restore factory performance or improve handling response. Popular Suspension Arm Bushing Options Popular suspension arm bushing options include OEM-specification rubber bushing replacements for restoring factory ride quality, polyurethane control arm bushing sets for improved handling precision and reduced deflection under load, spherical bearing conversion kits for track applications that eliminate bushing compliance entirely, and complete control arm bushing kits that include all bushings and sleeves needed for a full vehicle refresh. What are the symptoms of worn suspension arm bushings? Worn suspension arm bushings typically cause clunking or knocki...
