Part #: SPL RKB E36
Overview
The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Knuckle Bushing Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the 1992-1995 BMW 325i (E36). This kit replaces the stock rubber bushings in the rear knuckle with low-friction, articulating spherical bearings, offering a significant improvement over factory components. It is ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced handling, precise feedback, and consistent suspension geometry under load. Whether you are a track day enthusiast or a spirited driver, these bushings help maintain optimal alignment and reduce unwanted flex, resulting in a more responsive and predictable driving experience.
Designed with durability and performance in mind, these monoball bushings feature FK Racing Bearings with a self-lubricating Teflon liner, ensuring long-lasting operation and minimal maintenance.
