For the 2009-2010 BMW 335i xDrive 3 Series, Whiteline makes the Front Lower Control Arm Bushing Kit. It goes on the front of the vehicle. The part number is W53453. Included: 4 bushings and 2 tubes. Application note: Standard Replacement. It is listed for the E90/E92 chassis.
Bushings work out of sight, but they decide how well a suspension holds its geometry. A soft or tired control arm bushing allows play that shows up as vague steering, a wandering feel under braking, or a clunk over bumps. Fitting a firmer one takes that slack out. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated difficult, with about 2.5 hours of work listed. Get the car aligned once it is back on the ground. To go with it on the 335i xDrive 3 Series, see Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, Rear Subframe Mount Bushing, and Front and Rear Essential Vehicle Kit.
