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 is the 3rd Generation of the TMS E36 sway bar / swaybars and features CNC'd ends, two adjustment positions, re-countoured bends for better clearance, and one of the largest solid sway bars available (30mm). We couldn't find a large front sway bar that we liked so we made our own - perfect for taming that understeer!

From years of racing the E36 in World Challenge we have discovered the E36 favors a larger front bar without over doing the size of the rear. We normally pair this front bar with our 24mm rear bar. This is the best combination we could find to reduce body roll while making handling as neutral as possible. The swaybar sits in a polyurethane bushing which has a squeak resistant lining. Perfect for street use and great for competition / track applications.

This is the E36 front swaybar only and we sell it as an upgrade over other smaller front sway bars (27mm, 28mm, etc.). For the Front/Rear swaybar set, click here.

Engineered for BMW models with a 15 mm rear sway bar, this bushing provides a perfect fit and superior handling.

This leads to improved vehicle stability, better grip, and sharper handling, particularly during spirited driving or on winding roads.
  • High-Quality Polyurethane Construction: Made from durable polyurethane, these bushings offer significant advantages over the original rubber bushings. They are resistant to wear, heat, and contaminants such as oil and grime, which ensures they maintain their performance and shape over a longer period.

This allows you to enjoy improved handling without experiencing a harsh ride, making them suitable for daily driving as well as performance-oriented use.
  • Increased Durability: The polyurethane material ensures longevity and reduces the frequency of bushing replacements, making this a low-maintenance upgrade that keeps your suspension in optimal condition for a longer time.

These 15 mm Rear Sway Bar Bushings are ideal for BMW enthusiasts looking to upgrade their car’s handling dynamics. Whether you're driving a classic BMW like the E24 or a modern model like the E46, these bushings provide a straightforward way to enhance your vehicle's suspension, offering improved cornering precision and reduced body roll, while still preserving ride comfort for everyday use.

The BMW E36 / Z3 / 318Ti Front Sway Bar Bushing (26mm) is a key suspension component specifically designed for BMW models such as the E36, Z3, and 318Ti. These bushings are crucial for connecting the front sway bar to the vehicle’s chassis, playing a significant role in enhancing handling, stability, and overall driving performance.

Key Features:

  1. Optimized for 26mm Sway Bars:

    • Specifically engineered for vehicles equipped with a 26mm front sway bar, these bushings ensure a snug fit that maximizes performance and minimizes body roll.
  2. Functionality:

    • The sway bar bushings work by connecting the sway bar to the chassis, effectively reducing body roll during turns. This improved connection enhances stability and allows for more confident handling, especially during cornering.
  3. Material Choices:

    • Offered in both rubber and polyurethane variants:
      • Rubber bushings provide comfort and effective noise dampening, although they can wear out faster over time.
      • Polyurethane bushings deliver greater durability, reduced deflection, and improved handling response, making them a popular choice among performance enthusiasts.
  4. Enhanced Driving Dynamics:

    • Replacing old or worn bushings can lead to significant improvements in handling and responsiveness, resulting in sharper steering and better control during aggressive driving.
  5. Model Compatibility:

    • Designed to fit a range of models, including the E36, Z3, and 318Ti, these bushings help maintain the renowned performance characteristics that BMW drivers expect.
  6. Installation Process:

    • Installing new sway bar bushings usually requires detaching the sway bar from the suspension. This process can be performed by skilled DIYers, but professional installation is recommended for optimal results.

Benefits of Upgrading or Replacing:

  • Enhanced Cornering Performance: New bushings improve the effectiveness of the sway bar, resulting in less body roll and enhanced stability during turns.
  • Improved Steering Feel: Fresh bushings offer better feedback from the suspension, creating a more connected driving experience.
  • Durability: Upgrading to polyurethane options can extend the lifespan of the sway bar components, reducing the frequency of replacements.

In summary, the BMW E36 / Z3 / 318Ti Front Sway Bar Bushing (26mm) is essential for maintaining and improving the handling and performance of these BMW models. Whether you're replacing worn bushings or upgrading to polyurethane for better durability and performance, ensuring these components are in top condition is vital for enjoying the exceptional driving dynamics that these vehicles provide.
