The Powerflex Adjustable Rear Trailing Arm Bushing for the BMW E32, E34, E28, and E24 models is engineered to optimize the performance of the rear suspension system. With its adjustable design, this bushing allows for precise tuning of suspension settings, making it an essential upgrade for both daily drivers and performance enthusiasts.

Key Benefits:

  1. Precision Adjustability: The adjustable feature of this bushing allows drivers to fine-tune their trailing arm positioning, enabling adjustments to camber and toe angles. This customization is particularly beneficial for those who participate in motorsport events or track days, where suspension alignment can significantly impact performance.

  2. Enhanced Handling Characteristics: Replacing factory rubber bushings with high-performance polyurethane increases the stiffness and responsiveness of the rear trailing arm. This improvement results in reduced body roll and enhanced cornering stability, providing a more dynamic driving experience.

  3. Durability and Longevity: Constructed from high-quality polyurethane, these bushings are designed to withstand harsh conditions and resist wear from oil, heat, and road debris. Unlike traditional rubber bushings, they offer greater longevity and performance reliability.

  4. Improved Steering Response: The firmer connection provided by these bushings enhances road feedback and steering precision. Drivers will experience a more connected feel to the road, allowing for better control and confidence during spirited driving.

  5. Easy Installation: Specifically designed for the BMW E32, E34, E28, and E24, these bushings are a direct fit into the existing trailing arm mounts. Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications, making it an accessible upgrade for DIY enthusiasts.

Rear trailing arm bushings serve the key purpose of keeping rear suspension triangulated and the vehicle moving where it's directed to. Though failure prone, even factory-fresh OEM rubber bushings allow for deflection, causing suspension geometry changes on hard launches, over bumps in the road, and during cornering. This deflection results in clunking in the rear end, a “rear steer” feeling, and uneven tire wear.

Powerflex polyurethane rear trailing arm bushings are firmer than OEM bushings, resulting in a reduction of deflection that causes these suspension angle changes, improving handling over bumps and with a proper alignment, extending tire wear.Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane differential 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 acceleration response, more direct shifting feel and overall improved drivetrain composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane 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.

The Powerflex silicone grease is the only lubricant we suggest for long, squeak free operation. The lubricant contains silicone that resists heat and water and keeps a more constant viscosity to allow it to stay in the bushing as temperatures increase. The lubricant also does not lose it's lubrication properties over time like an anti-seize type lubricant. Each pack will lube 2 large bushings or 4 small.
