Rubber control arm bushings control movement while offering a suitable amount of deflection for increased comfort and driveability. Swapping these to a stiffer material will reduce deflection and improve response. Turner Motorsport carries a wide variety of bushings and materials to support your individual needs.
Experience championship-caliber performance with Fall-Line's Lower Control Arm Bearings, proudly Made in the USA. From years of competitive racing, Fall-Line is synonymous with producing top-tier suspension components that excel on the track. The weak link in the latest M Cars' rear camber arms is the rubber bushings, but Fall-Line's new lower control arm bearings offer a game-changing solution. This SKU replaces OEM BMW Part number: 33326792553 Key Features: Designed for all G8X and F8X M cars DMG Mori 5-Axis CNC machined for precision Full stainless bearing assembly including hats, bearings, housing, and spiral locks Sold in pairs; designed to replace the rear control/camber arm outer bearings (BMW Part Number: 33-32-6-792-553) By eliminating rubber from this critical feedback area, Fall-Line provides control over the tire's behavior and confidence behind the wheel at the limit. These bearings feature the largest FK spherical bearings on the market, ensuring strength and longevity even under competition-level loads. Stainless steel spiral locks offer 360 degrees of clamping force, securing the bearing from any potential movement. As a bonus, these spherical bearings outlast OEM rubber variants, eliminating the headache of repeated replacements over your ownership. Please note that, as with any elimination of suspension bushings, there may be a slight increase in noise, vibration, and harshness after installation. Upgrade your suspension with Fall-Line's Lower Control Arm Bearings and take your driving experience to the next level. Invest in championship-level performance with Fall-Line, the trusted name in motorsport.

Fall Line’s mono ball spherical bearing conversion kit transforms the front steering and suspension feel of the M2. The factory rubber bushing is very large, and is prone to substantial deflection under load, as the M2 is put through its paces. Deflection of the bushing can create unwanted geometry change, steering wobble under braking, and even hysteresis of the thrust arm. The bearing’s housing is precision machine from aluminum, to create a rigid part that allows for the M2’s thrust arm to move smoothly through its range of suspension travel. The improvement in steering and suspension feel is immediate and truly enhances the personality of the M2.

Replace your inner control arm bushings with performance Powerflex bushings to tighten up your control and improve stability. *Door Buster Special - New Product* This is a replacement part that uses the Black Series material to boost stiffness over the original part by 18% to withstand increased loading seen by this position on the car. If the control arm bushings on your vehicle are beginning to fail, it will become quickly apparent. Suspension noise will be drastically increased, there will be steering wheel shake when hitting road hazards, and the entire car will have an all around loose feel. This can also lead to premature tire failure as alignment is negatively affected. Replace your control arm bushings to give your entire suspension a tighter feel. Rattling over bumps, a loose feeling when driving, and play in the front wheels is the main indicator that your bushings may be failing. The stock rubber tends to get dry rotted, wear out, and cause play in the attachment point for the control arm. Replace yours when they wear out, or when replacing a control arm that didn't include these pieces.

MADE IN THE USA. Rubber bushings found in the G8X’s rear upper arms are the last weak link in an otherwise rigid suspension. The original BMW bushings yield to cornering forces applied to the suspension, resulting in camber and toe change that is not ideal for performance driving. Fall Line’s kit replaces the soft upper control arm bushings with spherical bearings, enabling the rear suspension arms to move smoothly through their travel and giving the rear of a car a more solid, planted feel. The reduced geometry change allows for the car to retain its desired alignment, maintaining better control over the tire’s behavior under heavy load. Designed to replace the inner bushings of the rear upper control arms; BMW Part Numbers: 33322284777, 33329504611, and 33329504612. The BMW M cars feature a subframe that is directly mounted to the chassis by BMW M, to reduce suspension compliance and improve performance and driving feel. Similarly, the Fall Line upper control arm bearings rigidly mount the suspension arms to the subframe, increasing driver feedback, reducing geometry change, and improving performance. As with any elimination of suspension bushings, more feedback does equate to more road and suspension noise. While the Fall Line rear upper control arm bearings are a substantial performance improvement, please do be prepared for increased noise, vibration, and harshness after installing the parts. Product Details: DMG Mori 5-Axis CNC machined Full stainless bearing assembly (hats, bearing, housing, spiral locks) Price is per set of 4 (2 per side); designed to replace the inner bushings of the rear upper control arms (BMW Part Numbers: 33-32-2-284-777, 33-32-9-504-611, & 33-32-9-504-612)

The Powerflex silicone grease is the only lubricant we suggest for long, squeak free operation. The lubricant contains silicone that resists heat and water and keeps a more constant viscosity to allow it to stay in the bushing as temperatures increase. The lubricant also does not lose it's lubrication properties over time like an anti-seize type lubricant. Each pack will lube 2 large bushings or 4 small.
