Front Control Arm Bushing & Bracket Kit (FCAB), URO - E46 323i/325i/328i/330i, E85 Z4 2.5/3.0

The 1999-2006 E46 3 Series and 2002-2008 E85 Z4 suffer from pre-mature wear with the factory front control arm bushings. This creates a steering wheel shudder that can be felt during normal driving and braking and also affect tire wear. This bushing is located at the back of the front control arm and is the key component for preventing excess NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) from entering the cabin.

The inner bushing is often replaced when the rubber degrades over time or from rough pavement. The bushing can no longer dampen suspension movement and you end up with a steering vibration, imprecise steering feel, and sloppy handling.

Urethane bushings are also available that offer even greater performance advantages.

This part is manufactured by an aftermarket supplier of European auto parts, including many suspension 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.
