Kia e-Niro, Niro EV, Soul EV, EV3, EV4 & Hyundai Kona Electric Rear Middle Control Arm Bush – Left / Right
This rubber and metal bush fits the middle mounting of the rear suspension on the Kia e-Niro, Niro EV, Soul EV, EV3 and EV4 and the Hyundai Kona Electric. Choose the rear left (Febi 196669) or rear right (Febi 197690) from the options.
Replace the bush if the rubber is cracked or perished, or you hear knocks from the rear over bumps. A worn bush lets the wheel move out of line, causing uneven tyre wear and vague handling.
The two sides have different part numbers: Febi 196669 replaces 55290-G2000 (left) and Febi 197690 replaces 55290-G2100 (right).
Febi is a brand of the bilstein group, a German parts maker that supplies replacement parts for cars and vans across the world. Each part is made to match the original in fit and function, so it fits without modification.
The bilstein group parts finder lists both sides for the electric Kia e-Niro, Niro EV, Soul EV, EV3 and EV4 and the Hyundai Kona Electric; see the table for each side and power output. Compare the part number on your existing part with the numbers on this page before ordering.

Kia e-Niro, Niro EV, Soul EV, EV3, EV4 & Hyundai Kona Electric Rear Middle Control Arm Bush – Left / Right FAQs
Which part numbers does it replace?
It replaces Kia and Hyundai part numbers 55290-G2000 and 55290-G2100.
Are left and right the same part?
No. The rear left bush is Febi 196669 (55290-G2000) and the rear right bush is Febi 197690 (55290-G2100). Choose the side you need from the options.
Should I replace both sides?
If one bush is worn the other is often close behind, so many owners replace both sides together.
Do I need an alignment?
Yes. Have the wheel alignment checked after replacing suspension bushes. If your car has driver-assistance cameras or radar, have them checked after any suspension work that changes the wheel alignment.
Will it fit my Kia or Hyundai Kona Electric?
The parts finder lists the left bush for the electric Kia e-Niro, Niro EV (2022 on), Soul EV (2019 on), EV3, EV4 and EV4 Fastback, and the Hyundai Kona Electric first and second generation. The right bush is listed for the same Kia models and the Hyundai Kona Electric; see the table for the exact power outputs. Compare the part number on your existing part before ordering.
Is this a genuine Kia or Hyundai part?
No. It is a quality replacement part made by the bilstein group to match the original in fit and function.
