How to replace the trailing arm bushing on BMW X3?

Raise the vehicle and remove the rear wheels, then take out the trailing arm, ensuring to mark the position of the trailing arm front bracket on the body to facilitate resetting of the rear toe. Using appropriate press tools, press the bushing out of the trailing arm, clean the trailing arm bore, and press a new bushing into the trailing arm, aligning the slot in the bushing with the mark on the trailing arm bore. The correctly installed bushing should protrude from the trailing arm bore by 2.5 mm (0.1 in). Before reinstalling the trailing arm, preload the trailing arm front bushing by installing a bolt through the bracket and bushing, tightening the nut finger tight. Use bar stock to align the base of the bracket so that it is parallel with the center of the wheel bearing bore on the trailing arm, then torque the bracket bolt. Finally, reinstall the trailing arm and have the vehicle professionally aligned when the job is complete.

BMW X3 Trailing Arm Bushing

The main function of the BMW X3 Trailing Arm Bushing should be to absorb the rear suspension and reduce metal-to-metal contact, thus keeping the alignment in place. On every X3, this humble BMW component is wedged between the trailing arm and its mount and serves the dual purpose of providing a firm pad that absorbs vibration while allowing the suspension to articulate smoothly. Assembly lines use Trailing Arm Bushing moldings made of flexible rubber, but some newer builds use more durable polyurethane to achieve a longer service life without compromising comfort. Regardless of material, a new Trailing Arm Bushing keeps the rear axle straight, whereas cracked or oil-soaked units throw off alignment, cause squeaks, and uneven tire wear. Many owners are finding problems around the 25-year mark, a reminder that even the well-sealed bushings in a BMW X3 eventually age out. When replacement time comes, what owners find is that unbolting the trailing arm is the task at hand since once the old Trailing Arm Bushing has been pressed out and the new one installed, it is easy with the arm on the bench. Combining this swap with a rear subframe overhaul is a way to save effort as everything is already apart. With a new BMW X3 Trailing Arm Bushing in place, handling feels more taut and road noise is reduced, leading to the crisp ride that owners are looking for.

If you are looking for OEM BMW X3 Trailing Arm Bushing, we highly recommend to shop with us. Not only do we offer budget friendly prices, but we also provide fast delivery. In addition, we have a hassle-free return policy on all genuine BMW X3 Trailing Arm Bushing that come backed by the manufacturer's warranty.
