Replacement set of HD control arm bushings for E46 323i/325i/328i/330i and Z4 2.5/3.0. These are the bushings only and intended to use with your original brackets*.

The 1999-2006 E46 3 Series and 2002-2008 E85 Z4 suffer from premature 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 factory bushings only do a good job of blocking NVH when they're new. Over time the dampening fluid inside leaks or evaporates which leaves the bushing with no resistance and too much deflection.

Instead of installing another set of original bushings that will quickly wear in a short period of time, we suggest upgrading to all-rubber Meyle HD bushings. Meyle HD bushings use a solid rubber design to increase longevity compared to the stock, fluid filled bushing. These have a slight improvement in performance and steering feedback compared to new factory bushings. Their real advantage is in longevity - with no fluid to leak these bushings last a lot longer. NVH is not increased over the factory bushing.

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

* - These bushings fit with the later 66mm brackets. Early 323i/328i had 60mm brackets but may have been updated already to the later design.

These bushings are also available pre-pressed into new brackets (see below).
