Turner Motorsport Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Limiter Kit (RTAB Shim Kit) (more info)

The ORIGINAL rear trailing arm bushing / RTAB shim kit -- and still the best! The Turner rear trailing-arm bushing limiter kit creates a stiffer rear suspension without sacrificing ride quality. Stock trailing arm bushings are known for failure, on both the E36 and E46 BMW chassis. This kit is a perfect upgrade from stock, as it reduces bushing deflection, dramatically increases bushing life, improves handling, and all without the harshness of "race-only" bushings, and while maintaining completely silent operation -- no squeaks and no vibration, whatsoever.

By combining these limiters with stock bushings, this is a great low cost and effective suspension performance enhancer. Each pair of blue aluminum "shims" essentially sandwich the stock rubber bushing to control their lateral movement. By limiting the amount of side-to-side play of the stock bushing, drivers will have increased driver feel thanks to the reduction of toe variation caused by the squirm of the stock rubber bushings. This also reduces duress on the bushing, giving your newly installed bushings a dramatically longer lifespan (a welcome benefit for both pure street or tracked cars). Some stock class racing series even allow this kind of modification, because the stock bushing is still being used.

Kit includes: 4-Blue anodized aluminum bushing limiters, eight 5mm allen bolts and a drilling template.

Suspension Bushings and Mounts

Front Upper Strut/Shock Mount - Left or Right - E46 E82 E90 E60 E63 E83 (more info)

The strut mounts (or guide support) locate the front strut to the chassis of the car. They are a very durable rubber meant to absorb vibration and imapcts from bumps, potholes, etc. There is also a bearing inside that allows the strut shaft to turn independent of the rest of the suspension. Therefore, the front strut mount is a very critical piece on the front suspension. These mounts generally last 80,000 miles or more but it would be a good idea to change them with every strut replacement.
Price is per mount. Left and Right are the same part.

Rear Differential Mounts - OEM/Meyle HD Rubber - E46, X3, Z4 (more info)

These rubber bushings from Meyle are a direct replacement for the stock differential bushings in the E46 3-series, E83 X3 SAV, and Z4 Roadster. If your original bushings are worn (likely around 100,000 miles) these are a great replacement upgrade. The front bushings are the stock OEM type rubber bushings. The rear bushing is a Meyle HD upgrade over stock - about 15% stiffer than the originals. This means the bushing will not flex and twist as much. This puts more power to the wheels since power is no longer used up for 'torquing' the bushing. These are not race bushings; the rubber material is perfectly suitable for street use.

The non-M E46/E83/Z4 models use three differential mounts - two front bushings in the subframe and one rear mount in the diff cover. This set of Meyle bushings covers all three. You can opt to include new mounting hardware in the Options list below.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1999-2005 E46 BMW 323i 323ci 325i 325ci 325xi 328i 328ci 330i 330ci 330xi

Rear Differential Mounts - Turner Solid Delrin/Aluminum - E46, X3, Z4 (more info)

These Turner Motorsport solid differential mounts were designed for our championship-winning Grand-Am E46 330s and they are legal in most racing classes where a fully solid aluminum mount is not allowed. To prevent bushing deflection, these E46 diff bushings use Delrin with an aluminum insert. This keeps the differential locked in place which improves handling, feedback, and transfers more power to the wheels. They also last much longer than any rubber mount. If you're tracking your E46 323, 325, 328, or 330 these diff mounts are an absolute must. They can also be used on street cars if slightly higher levels of noise and vibration can be accepted.

This item fits the following BMWs:
1999-2005 E46 BMW 323i 323ci 325i 325ci 325xi 328i 328ci 330i 330ci 330xi

Rear Outer Upper or Lower Trailing Arm Ball Joint - E36, E46, X3, Z4 (more info)

This ball joint is used for the upper rear trailing arm bushing on ALL E36, E46, E83 X3, and E85 Z4 cars. BMW also used it as the lower bushing on most M cars. It makes a great upgrade on all non-M cars where BMW used a rubber bushing at the lower position.

This sealed ball joint is one of the best things about the rear suspension - it functions extremely well and lasts a long time. And it can be used as a replacement for the existing bushing without any further modification. The non-M cars used a solid rubber bushing for the lower arm (camber arm, wishbone) which does not last very long and relies on bushing deflection (twist) during suspension motions. The ball joint inside the upgraded design is much more effective during this suspension movements as it does not bind or deflect. And because it's sealed with rubber it will last a long time and remain quiet and maintenance free. Most customers report that after installing or "upgrading" to these bushings the rear end of their car felt much more stable.

Price is per bushing. Left/Right and Upper/Lower are the same part.

Rear Trailing Arm Bushings (RTAB) - Meyle HD Rubber - E36, E46, Z4 (Pair) (more info)

The rear trailing arm bushings (RTABs) control the toe alignment of the rear suspension. When they go bad, the rear traction suffers because the wheel's toe angle is moving excessively in and out during cornering. This can make the car feel nervous and 'tail happy' even during modest cornering speeds. As important as these bushings are, they only seem to last 40-50,000 miles on their own.

These German-made Meyle bushings are about 20% stiffer than the originals. The harder rubber allows less compliance which gives better feedback and crisper handling. All Meyle HD parts are warranted for 4 years. It's a performance upgrade with no downside.

Any RTAB would benefit from our Bushing Limiters. These spacer shims fit on either side of the bushing and limit excess rotation. It's this over-extending of the bushing that causes them to wear out so fast. The Limiters will prolong the life of the bushing and are an easy install when performing the bushing replacement.

Price is per pair of bushings.
