16-24 Camaro Rear Upper Trailing Arms Bearing Kit, Outer - BMR

FITS 2016-2024 CAMARO ( ALL MODELS )
Installation Instructions

DESCRIPTION:

Minimize wheel hop, improve traction, and increase rear suspension stability on your 2016-2024 Chevrolet Camaro with the BMR Suspension Rear Upper Trailing Arm Spherical Bearing Kit featuring Part Number BK065. Designed to replace the factory rear outer upper trailing arm bushings, the BK065 uses heavy-duty spherical bearings and precision-machined billet aluminum bearing cups to eliminate the unwanted bushing deflection found in the factory suspension. BMR designed the kit for street performance, drag racing, and handling applications where improved suspension control and more consistent power delivery are priorities. The factory rear upper trailing arm bushings use compliant rubber to help absorb noise, vibration, and harshness. While this construction benefits everyday comfort, the soft rubber can deflect when subjected to acceleration, braking, and cornering loads. This movement allows unwanted changes in rear suspension geometry and can contribute to wheel hop, reduced throttle response, and inconsistent traction. BMR's BK065 replaces these compliant outer bushings with spherical bearings, providing a much more precise connection between the trailing arms and rear spindle. At the heart of the BK065 are heavy-duty 0.75-inch spherical bearings surrounded by machined 6061 billet aluminum bearing cups. Unlike factory rubber bushings, spherical bearings eliminate bushing compression and deflection while allowing the suspension to articulate through its intended range of motion. The result is improved control of the rear suspension during aggressive acceleration and cornering without the unwanted movement associated with the factory bushings. By eliminating rear upper trailing arm bushing deflection, BMR states that the BK065 decreases wheel hop, increases throttle response and traction, and reduces rear spindle rotation. Controlling spindle rotation and trailing arm movement helps keep the rear suspension geometry more consistent as power is applied, allowing the tires and suspension to work more effectively. These improvements make the BK065 especially beneficial for modified Camaros producing substantially more power or utilizing higher-grip performance tires. Finished in a durable Black Anodized coating, the BK065 combines performance-focused construction with long-lasting protection and a clean appearance. BMR estimates installation at approximately 2-3 hours and proudly designs and manufactures the kit in the USA. For sixth-generation Camaro owners looking to reduce wheel hop, improve throttle response and traction, and remove unwanted compliance from the rear suspension, the BMR BK065 Rear Upper Trailing Arm Spherical Bearing Kit provides a purpose-built performance upgrade.

Important Notes

• This listing is for the rear upper trailing arm spherical bearing kit.
• BK065 replaces the factory rear outer upper trailing arm bushings.
• Features machined 6061 billet aluminum bearing cups.
• Uses heavy-duty 0.75-inch spherical bearings.
• BMR designed BK065 to eliminate rear upper trailing arm bushing deflection.
• Eliminating bushing deflection helps provide more consistent rear suspension operation during acceleration and cornering.
• BMR specifically states that BK065 decreases wheel hop.
• BMR specifically states that BK065 increases throttle response and traction.
• BMR specifically states that BK065 reduces rear spindle rotation.
• Reduced spindle rotation can help maintain more consistent suspension geometry as drivetrain and cornering loads increase.
• Designed for street performance, drag racing, and handling applications.
• Because the BK065 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 bearing upgrades are best suited for performance-oriented applications where suspension precision, traction, and responsiveness take priority over maximum NVH isolation.
• Proper tools and equipment may be required to remove the factory bushings and install the spherical bearing assemblies.
• Inspect surrounding suspension components during installation for wear or damage.
• A suspension alignment should be checked after installation whenever rear suspension locating components have been removed or disturbed.
• Professional installation is recommended for customers unfamiliar with suspension bushing and spherical bearing replacement.
