Trailing arm bushings play a key role in connecting the wheels to the chassis of the vehicle. Tasked with keeping suspension geometry in check while absorbing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) factory rubber bushings were engineered to provide a balance of comfort and control. As a factory bushing ages, it becomes brittle and begins to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play in the suspension joint. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk forward after the car comes to a stop and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. By replacing the bushing with a full polyurethane unit or using a bushing insert, this play is eliminated since the suspension joint is being supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. Additionally, the inherent stiffness of the urethane material translates body forces much more directly. This means steering inputs from the driver are effectively transferred to the wheels and vital road information is transmitted properly from the wheels to the driver.

Powerflex Black Series bushings are the ultimate in track and race bushings. Featuring 95A durometer polyurethane, Black Series bushings are 25% stiffer than street bushings. Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings offer a supreme level of control, while still providing enough comfort for the street, with advanced polyurethane that reduces NVH that often accompanies lesser bushings. Expect improved steering feel, turn in, more responsive handling and overall improved chassis composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings.

Poweflex is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket suspension bushings. Using state of the art design and manufacturing, all replacement bushings are engineered to out-perform and out-last the ones that came in the car. Each line of bushings is meticulously tested and then re-tested to ensure perfect fitment and enduring quality through the life of the vehicle. A full lifetime warranty backs every one of their products and demonstrates the level of confidence and commitment Powerflex has to their customers.

Sway bars transmit cornering forces from the outside wheels to the inside wheels, helping to keep the vehicle flat during cornering. This, in turn, reduces body roll and improves the driver's cornering confidence. OEM rubber sway bar bushings are designed with comfort in mind, allowing the sway bar to articulate while permitting additional movement, leading to less-than-ideal bar retention and causes unnecessary body roll.

Powerflex polyurethane sway bar bushings are firmer than factory rubber bushings, reducing body roll and keeping sway bars in check. Polyurethane bushings won't slop around like OEM bushings, allowing sway bars to function at their fullest potential.

Location: Front
Type: Street, Stage 1
Bearing: captive-ball fully encased in polyurethane

These front adjustable camber/caster plates will replace your stock front upper strut bearing. The KMAC plates are a 'floating' design so camber and caster are adjusted together. This design allows maximum range of adjustment since no other hardware interferes with the adjustments. Since these replace your stock strut bearings they are designed to work with a stock-type spring only. And when installed correctly will not significantly alter ride height. Adjustment is easily done by loosening the three nuts on top of the tower and sliding the camber plate into the position you want, then re-tighten the nuts. These mounts can be installed two ways - for camber correction or swapped side-side for increasing negative camber. Detailed instructions included.

Note: suspensions vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Turner Motorsport cannot be responsible for fitment issues caused by non-stock or specialized coil-over suspensions. As with any race-derived component, additonal fabrication may be required.

The Powerflex Black Series Rear Trailing Arm Bushings for the BMW E24, E28, E32, and E34 5 Series are designed specifically for motorsport and high-performance driving, offering superior stiffness and durability compared to stock rubber bushings. These bushings are part of the Black Series range, engineered for maximum control and precision under demanding conditions. Here's a detailed breakdown: Ultra-Stiff Polyurethane Compound: The Black Series bushings use an extra-hard polyurethane formulation that provides exceptional rigidity. This stiffness helps reduce any unwanted flex or movement in the rear trailing arms, which is critical for maintaining suspension alignment during high-speed cornering, acceleration, and braking. Motorsport-Level Performance: Designed for track-focused setups, these bushings deliver enhanced precision and control over the rear suspension. The reduced deflection ensures that the rear wheels stay properly aligned to the road, offering superior handling and grip. This is especially beneficial during aggressive driving or competitive racing, where suspension consistency is crucial. Improved Handling Dynamics: With these bushings, you'll experience significantly sharper turn-in response, reduced body roll, and better overall handling. The rear of the car becomes more stable, and the car’s behavior more predictable, making it easier to manage in high-performance environments or during spirited driving. Extreme Durability: The Powerflex Black Series bushings are designed to withstand the intense conditions of track use. They resist wear and tear from heat, oil, and road contaminants, far outlasting traditional rubber bushings. This makes them ideal for race cars or heavily modified street cars that are frequently subjected to extreme forces. Reduced Flex for Maximum Suspension Efficiency: By minimizing movement in the rear trailing arm, the bushings allow the suspension to operate at its full potential. This leads to more consistent handling and tire contact, which improves both grip and acceleration, especially when pushing the car to its limits on the track. More Direct Feedback: The increased stiffness of the Black Series bushings allows for better transmission of road feel through the chassis, providing the driver with more accurate feedback. This gives a more connected driving experience, ideal for competitive driving where control and feel are critical. Perfect Fit for BMW E24 / E28 / E32 / E34: These bushings are designed to replace the OEM rear trailing arm bushings on the BMW E24 6 Series, E28 5 Series, E32 7 Series, and E34 5 Series models. They offer a direct fit, making installation relatively straightforward for anyone familiar with suspension work, although professional installation is recommended for proper alignment. Increased NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness): Due to their extreme stiffness, the Powerflex Black Series bushings will increase the amount of NVH transmitted through the car. While this is acceptable for track use, it may not be ideal for daily-driven vehicles where comfort is a priority. In conclusion, the Powerflex Black Series Rear Trailing Arm Bushings are the ultimate choice for BMW E24, E28, E32, and E34 owners seeking uncompromised performance and durability on the track. These bushings offer a significant upgrade in handling and stability, making them ideal for motorsport applications or heavily modified street cars where precision and control are paramount. However, the trade-off is an increase in NVH, which makes them more suitable for track-focused builds rather than everyday use.

Type: Track, Stage 3
Bearing: PTFE-lined pillow-ball, no bushing

KMAC Stage 3 camber/caster plates are designed for track or race-only situations where comfort and noise are not the primary concerns. The Stage 3 camber plates use a pillowball bearing, solidly mounted within the camber plate for direct alignment of the strut shaft and no excess play or deflection. Stage 3 are designed to increase negative camber with their patented 'floating' adjustment that changes camber and caster together. This design allows maximum range of adjustment since no other hardware interferes with the adjustments. Fitment is limited to race-only small diameter coil-over springs (not stock-type). Bearing inserts and adapters included. Detailed instructions included.

Note: suspensions vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Turner Motorsport cannot be responsible for fitment issues caused by non-stock or specialized coil-over suspensions. As with any race-derived component, additonal fabrication may be required.
