Fitment: 1996-1999 BMW 328i (E36)

Part #: SPL RKB E36

Overview

The SPL Parts Rear Spherical Knuckle Bushing Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the BMW E36 chassis. This kit replaces the factory rubber bushings with precision-engineered spherical bearings, providing a more direct and responsive connection between the suspension components and the chassis. Ideal for enthusiasts and racers seeking improved handling, reduced flex, and enhanced feedback, these bushings help maintain optimal suspension geometry under load, resulting in more predictable and confident driving dynamics. Crafted for durability and performance, this kit supports aggressive driving styles and track use while ensuring long-lasting operation.

Key Features

This bushing kit features advanced materials and a thoughtful design to maximize performance and longevity:

• Low-friction FK Racing spherical bearings with self-lubricating Teflon liners for smooth operation
• High-quality, durable materials designed to withstand rigorous driving conditions
• Elimination of bushing flex and bind for improved handling response
• Maintains consistent camber and toe settings under load for precise alignment
• Engineered for easy installation with minimal modifications
• Supports aggressive driving, track days, and spirited street use

Construction & Design

The bushings are constructed using high-strength materials with precision machining to ensure a perfect fit and reliable performance. The spherical bearings are designed to provide maximum articulation while maintaining structural integrity, reducing unwanted movement and flex that can compromise handling. The self-lubricating Teflon liners help extend service life and reduce maintenance needs, making this kit a durable upgrade for your vehicle’s suspension system.

Driving Feel & Feedback

By replacing the stock rubber bushings with spherical bearings, this kit significantly enhances steering response and feedback. Drivers will notice more direct communication from the front suspension, allowing for more precise control and confidence during aggressive driving or cornering. The reduction in bushing flex helps maintain consistent suspension geometry, resulting in improved handling stability and a more engaging driving experience.

Installation & Fitment

Installation requires basic suspension tools and should be performed by those familiar with suspension upgrades. Fitment is designed to be direct, but verifying compatibility with your specific vehicle model and year is recommended. Proper alignment after installation is advised to maximize handling benefits.

What’s Included

The kit includes all necessary spherical bushings, bearings, and hardware required for a complete upgrade of the rear knuckle suspension components.
