The rear mounts in BMW 3 series fail, no matter what year from 1983 to present, that is a weak point of the suspension. Here's the solution.

These are an inexpensive alternative to expensive factory mounts.

Make this complete by adding the mount gasket and nuts (add the option below).

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.

When dismantling a suspension strut sometimes the securing nut can be difficult to access and the central strut itself needs to be held still while the nut is undone. This new Shock Absorber Tool Kit is designed to overcome these problems and make the job quick and easy.

The go-through design of the sockets and ratchet design allows the strut lock extensions to go right through the middle of the ratchet and socket. Five different strut lock extensions are included, to fit a variety of applications. Seven go-through deep sockets (16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 24mm) are included, plus a sliding T-bar.

Once the spring is compressed and the top plate is free, simply choose the correct strut lock extension and socket. Then fit the socket and the ratchet handle, and fit the strut lock straight through. The central strut is held steady, and the securing nut is quickly removed.

Specifically designed for repairing and replacing shock absorbers and struts
Contents: 7 - Go Thru' deep sockets: 16/17/18/19/21/22/24mm
3 x 1/2"D Hex bits: 6mm/7mm/8mm,
1 x sliding T-bar 1/2"D,
2 x slot bit sockets 5 x 8mm, 6 x 8mm x 1/2"D
Also includes 1 x 21mm Hex Go Thru' ratchet

Many German suspensions hold the strut in a split housing that is clamped tightly around the strut tube with a pinch bolt. Efforts to spread the housing after removing the bolt using chisels or pry bars may result in component damage or personal injury. The Schwaben Spindle Housing Spreader tool safely expands the split knuckle tube wide enough to allow removal of the old strut insert, and installation of the new one. Insert the hardened tip of the spreader into the gap in the housing, and turn it 90 degrees using a ½-inch breaker bar or ratchet. This spreads the tube slightly, and allows the strut to be safely removed.
