Front Control Arm Bushings, Centered Rubber, Aftermarket - E30, E36, Z3 (M3-spec)

Centered control arm bushings are found on the majority of E30, E36, and Z3 cars (except E30 M3 and 1995 M3). But most non-M models have a webbed rubber construction with gaps around the bushing. This makes it more comfortable and pliable for street driving. But the 96-99 M3 had solid rubber centered bushings and these are direct replacement and upgrade over the centered webbed bushing. The solid rubber deflect less which means the alignment and steering stays more consistent. This is better steering feel and response with a simple bushing change. As an added benefit the bushings last longer thanks to less deflection.

Offset bushings are also available for an even bigger change in steering feel. Urethane bushings also make a big upgrade over stock rubber. Price is for the pair.

This part is manufactured by an aftermarket supplier of European auto parts, including many bushing components. While not carrying OEM status, this part follows the design of the original very closely and uses similar materials. An aftermarket part may even have the same TUV approval as its OEM counterpart. The brand may even be OEM to another manufacturer besides BMW. This aftermarket brand has a two year warranty - the same as Genuine BMW and OEM brands.
