The ultimate front
control arm bushings (FCAB)
Available for:
Limited Lifetime Warranty including race use |
 replacement control arm not included. |
||||||||
Replacement hybrid design front control arm bushings use a true rotational bearing built into a high-durometer bushing material. The net result is racecar functionality with near-OE levels of vibration and noise damping.
The OE design of the
FCAB is a simple rubber bushing. The part itself is subjected to
torsional forces (twisting), lateral forces (side to side), and longitudinal
forces (in and out). While this basic rubber design results in a quiet
and comfortable ride, it also wears out quickly and has negative effects on
performance/enthusiast driving. Specifically, the indicators of
worn FCABs are steering wheel shimmy, looseness in the front end, irregular
tire wear, sloppy steering response, and suspension geometry changes while
cornering.
UUC's all-new design incorporates many unique features designed to permanently
address these problems while giving the functionality of a race-spec component
that also maintains normal street car comfort and vibration
absorption. Rotational bearing accommodates all torsional forces
without affecting outer bushing material. Bushing material absorbs noise
and vibration.
Results will be felt immediately as improved steering response and feel, and a
more "connected" feeling with the chassis.
Model details:
E46 fitments (1999-2004 330, 328, 325, 323 and 2000-2006 M3 - not for Xi models) include the aluminum "lollipop" bracket.
Important: all standard models (not including M3) must use the latest 66mm control arms/wishbones, BMW part # 31 12 6 774 819 (left) and 31 12 6 774 820 (right).
You must use genuine BMW parts, not aftermarket "equivalent" as we have seen variations as much as 4mm in size with off-brand parts.
E36, E30, and Z3 fitments (1984-1999 M3, 328, 325, 323, 318, MZ3 and all Z3, including iX.) can be purchased complete with steel "lollipop" bracket, or just as the bushing itself. Original bracket can be re-used, new bushing must be pressed in.
You must use genuine BMW parts, not aftermarket "equivalent" as we have seen variations as much as 4mm in size with off-brand parts.
Please note: not compatible with 1995-only M3 with offset bushings, can be used if converted to 1996+ style lower control arm.
