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.

These bushings have the hole off-center to give your car a little more track, caster, and camber. This style came as standard equipment on E30 M3s (8/89-later) and 1995 E36 M3 but will work with any E30, E36, Z3.

Rubber control arm bushings are designed to flex and absorb energy. That's fine on a streetcar but on an all-out racing machine you want your alignment to stay constant. We have picked Delrin for this application due to its high rigidity and low coefficient of friction allowing for minimal suspension bushing deflection (geometry change) but decreasing bushing windup or drag (friction). They are not recommended for street-use but highly-recommended for track cars.

To save time, pick up a pair of new bushing carrier brackets and hardware. This will save you the time and hassle of pressing out the old bushings. This will especially save you time if you're buying new control arms at the same time (no time wasted removing the old brackets from the arms). Stainless steel set screws included.

Made in the USA This product reinforces the metal swaybar link mounting point on the rear trailing arm. The sheet metal breaks off the trailing arm due to the constant up and down loads being placed on the trailing arm from the swaybar. Problems increase when larger sway bars are used. This product eliminates the problem by thickening the sheet metal and triangulating the mounting point. A good time to install this kit would be when you are doing any rear suspension work, exhaust, or even if you are just doing a differential fluid change. This part requires welding for installation.

Made in the USA Every E30 M3 that comes into our shop gets the front swaybar tab inspected. This is such a common problem but with an easy fix. If left to worsen you may be looking at an entire strut housing replacement. Fix it now with these reinforcing plates and a little welding! Not only will modified suspensions put stress on the mounts but age will reduce their strength as well. Reinforcing the swaybar mount to the strut will keep your swaybar geometry in spec and prevent a costly and ugly repair.

This item fits the following BMWs:

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.
