16-24 Camaro LS/LT & SS Front Lower Control Arm Spherical Bearing - BMR

FITS 2016-2024 CAMARO ( LS/LT & SS MODELS )
Installation Instructions

DESCRIPTION:

Improve steering feel, increase front-end stability, and eliminate unwanted lower control arm bushing deflection on your 2016-2024 Chevrolet Camaro LS/LT or SS with the BMR Suspension Front Lower Control Arm Spherical Bearing Kit featuring Part Number BK071. Designed for street performance, drag racing, and handling applications, the BK071 replaces the compliant factory front lower control arm bushings with heavy-duty 0.75-inch spherical bearings housed in precision-machined 6061 billet aluminum bearing cups. BMR specifically notes that the BK071 is not compatible with Camaro ZL1 models. The factory Camaro lower control arm bushings use soft rubber to help isolate noise, vibration, and harshness from the passenger compartment. While this compliance is beneficial for everyday comfort, it allows the control arm to move under braking, cornering, and other suspension loads. This bushing deflection can cause unwanted changes in front-end alignment and contribute to inconsistent handling characteristics. BMR developed the BK071 to eliminate this deflection and provide a much more precise connection between the lower control arm and chassis. At the heart of the BK071 are heavy-duty 0.75-inch spherical bearings surrounded by machined 6061 billet aluminum bearing cups. Unlike factory rubber bushings, the spherical bearing design eliminates unwanted bushing compression while still allowing the suspension to articulate as intended. By controlling movement at this critical suspension mounting point, the BK071 helps maintain more consistent suspension geometry as loads increase during hard braking, cornering, and performance driving. BMR states that eliminating front lower control arm bushing deflection decreases alignment changes during both normal and aggressive driving while increasing steering feel and stability. This provides the driver with a more direct connection to the front suspension and more predictable handling response, making the BK071 particularly beneficial for Camaro owners looking to improve chassis precision for spirited street driving, drag racing, autocross, or road-course use. Finished in a durable Black Anodized coating, the BK071 combines precision-machined construction with long-lasting protection and a clean performance appearance. BMR estimates installation at approximately 3-4 hours and proudly designs and manufactures the kit in the USA. For sixth-generation Camaro LS/LT and SS owners looking to eliminate front lower control arm bushing deflection and achieve more precise steering and suspension response, the BMR BK071 provides a purpose-built performance solution.

Important Notes

• Fits compatible 2016-2024 Chevrolet Camaro LS/LT and SS models.
• BMR specifically states that BK071 is not compatible with the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.
• This listing is for the front lower control arm spherical bearing kit.
• BK071 replaces the factory front lower control arm bushings rather than simply installing into or around the factory rubber bushings.
• Features machined 6061 billet aluminum bearing cups.
• BMR designed the BK071 to eliminate front lower control arm bushing deflection.
• Eliminating bushing deflection decreases unwanted front alignment changes during both normal and aggressive driving.
• BMR states that the BK071 increases steering feel and stability.
• Designed for street performance, drag racing, and handling applications.
• The Black Anodized finish provides a durable, performance-oriented appearance.
• Because BK071 replaces compliant factory rubber bushings with spherical bearings, additional noise, vibration, and harshness may be transmitted into the chassis compared with the factory suspension.
• Spherical bearings are best suited for performance-oriented applications where suspension precision and steering feedback take priority over maximum NVH isolation.
• Eliminating factory bushing compliance helps provide more repeatable front suspension behavior under braking and cornering loads.
• Installation requires removal of the factory front lower control arm bushings and installation of the BMR spherical bearing assemblies.
• Proper tools and equipment for suspension bushing/bearing replacement may be required.
• A professional alignment is recommended after installation or whenever front suspension locating components have been removed or disturbed.
• Professional installation is recommended for customers unfamiliar with suspension bushing and spherical bearing replacement.
