The BMW E30 3 Series Front Sway Bar Bushing (18.5mm) is a key suspension component designed for the legendary E30 models produced between 1984 and 1991. These bushings are integral to the performance of the front sway bar, helping to enhance stability and handling during cornering.

Key Features:

  1. Designed for 18.5mm Sway Bars:

    • These bushings are specifically tailored for E30 models equipped with an 18.5mm front sway bar, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum effectiveness.
  2. Functionality:

    • The front sway bar bushings connect the sway bar to the chassis, allowing it to work effectively in reducing body roll during turns. This connection improves the vehicle's overall stability and handling characteristics.
  3. Material Choices:

    • Available in both rubber and polyurethaneoptions:
      • Rubber bushings offer a smooth, quiet ride and excellent shock absorption but may wear out more quickly.
      • Polyurethane bushings provide enhanced durability and performance, with less flex and improved handling, making them a preferred choice for performance-oriented drivers.
  4. Performance Enhancement:

    • Replacing old or worn bushings can lead to noticeable improvements in handling, providing better control and responsiveness during cornering. This results in less body roll and a more planted feel on the road.
  5. Compatibility:

    • Specifically designed for the BMW E30 3 Series, these bushings help maintain the vehicle’s signature handling and driving dynamics, making them essential for both daily driving and spirited excursions.
  6. Installation Process:

    • Installing new sway bar bushings usually involves removing the sway bar from the vehicle. While experienced DIY enthusiasts can manage this task, professional installation is recommended for proper alignment and performance.

Benefits of Replacing or Upgrading:

  • Improved Handling and Stability: New bushings provide a more direct connection between the sway bar and chassis, resulting in enhanced cornering stability and reduced body roll.
  • Better Steering Feedback: Fresh bushings allow for more precise steering response, giving drivers a greater sense of control and connection to the road.
  • Increased Durability: Upgrading to polyurethane bushings extends the lifespan of the sway bar system, minimizing the frequency of replacements.

In summary, the BMW E30 3 Series Front Sway Bar Bushing (18.5mm) is a vital component for maintaining the performance and handling of these classic BMWs. Whether replacing worn bushings or upgrading to polyurethane for better durability and performance, ensuring that these components are in top condition is essential for enjoying the renowned driving experience of the E30.

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.

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. 

This part fits the following BMWs:
1985 - 1991 E30 M3
