BMW E31 Upper Rear Wishbone Ball Joint Bushing (Pair) provides an efficient and affordable solution for replacing the ball joint bushings in the upper rear control arm of your BMW E31. Unlike the costly full control arm replacement offered by BMW, this bushing set offers high-quality performance at a fraction of the price.
This bushing pair features a well-engineered rubber boot that has been designed to sit flush with the metal surface of the bushing, allowing for easy installation using standard press tools or a socket. The innovative design eliminates the need for a custom press tool and helps prevent damage to the boot during installation.
Made from durable polyurethane rubber, these bushings are built to withstand the elements and provide long-lasting performance. With OEM-level precision, they ensure a perfect fit and hassle-free, plug-and-play installation on the BMW E31.

BMW E31 Lower Ball Joint Bushing is an essential upgrade for ensuring the long-term performance of your BMW’s suspension system. The original ball joint bushings supplied by BMW, specifically the Lemforder bushings, often suffer from premature cracking due to their weak, transparent plastic boots. This deterioration allows dirt and grime to infiltrate, ultimately damaging the bushings and affecting your vehicle's suspension. The new bushing solution uses advanced polyurethane rubber, known for its ability to resist wear and tear from the elements, providing lasting durability.
Engineered with precision, the BMW E31 Lower Ball Joint Bushing is designed specifically to fit the E31 platform, ensuring it handles the vehicle's weight without compromise. The bushing features OEM dimensions for seamless installation, making it a plug-and-play replacement that requires no additional modifications.

For someone looking for superior performance and longevity these sealed monoball bushings are the best upper thrust bearing you can buy for an F22 2-series or F3X 3/4-series. The advantage of a monoball bearing is that it will not deflect under load. All of the rubber bushings move in all sorts of directions and that changes your alignment, especially when used with big brake kits or when driven hard. The condition worsens as the bushing wears out. The Dinan monoball sits in a CNC machined aluminum housing which has zero deflection. The monoball allows complete freedom of movement but only at the desired angles. What you get is superior steering precision, better handling from more consistent alignment, and almost infinite bushing life. And thanks to the inner liner and sealed rubber boots there's none of the extra noise or reduced service life of fully solid race bushings.
We strongly advise using these with new control arms. BMW recommends that the bushings be replaced only once per set of control arms. So if your thrust arm bushings have been replaced already then we do not recommend re-using the arms. The other reason is that the aluminum arms stretch over time which will make the bushings loose inside the arm. Other manufacturers recommend filling the stretched arms with paste but replacing the control arm is the better solution.
For over 35 years, Dinan has been America's premier tuning company, pioneering advancements in BMW modification while retaining a focus on balanced performance that preserves the original character and driving feel that a BMW offers. When you install a Dinan part on your car, know that it's not only carefully developed and tested, but that Dinan stands behind it with a four year, 50,000-mile warranty. Dinan believes so fully in their “total package” approach that once your car has been fitted with enough of their parts, they celebrate your conversion from stock to Dinan with an exclusive trunk badge, displayed proudly by BMW enthusiasts everywhere.
