Installation instructions

Product Description

The SPL RUAB E36 Rear Upper Arm Bushings kit upgrades the rear suspension of BMW 3-Series E36 and E46 models by replacing the soft factory rubber bushings with durable spherical bearings and machined aluminium housings. This upgrade dramatically reduces unwanted movement in the rear upper control arms, helping maintain correct camber and toe under load, improving handling response and consistency especially for ambitious drivers or track-use vehicles.

Installation is straightforward: remove the rear upper control arms, press or remove the factory bushings, install the SPL monoball assemblies, then reinstall the arms and torque to specification. After installation, a full alignment is strongly recommended to take advantage of the improved geometry control. Fitment is confirmed for 1992 - 1999 (E36) and 1999 - 2005 (E46). Coverage for later models beyond 2005 is **unconfirmed** at time of listing.
