Front Hydrobearing Bushing (FCAB), OEM - E82 128i/135i, E9X 325i/328i/330i/335d/335i

This is the OEM hydrobearing bushing for the front tension strut on the E82 128i/135i and E9X 325i/328i/330i/335i (RWD models).

The tension strut is also known as the thrust arm and is the forward-most control arm on the E82/E90/E92 chassis. The bushing is filled with a vibration-absorbing fluid that does a great job of isolating bumps and rough roads, until the fluid leaks or evaporates. Worn E9X bushings will affect the ride, handling, and steering of the car and can also cause clunking noises and vibrations. To restore steering precision and taught handling, replace the tension strut bushing at the first sign of wear.

This is an OEM bushing (hydrobearing) for the tension strut / thrust arm, made by Lemforder or TRW, original suppliers to BMW of this part and many other suspension components on your car. It comes with a two year warranty.

Sold per bushing.

Powerflex urethane replacement bushings are also available (see below).
