BMW Suspension Parts for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

Sway bars are an essential upgrade when trying to get the best handling capabilities out of your BMW. Stock sway bars allow for too much play and excessive body roll, not keeping the wheels as firmly planted as they should be. Whiteline offers their performance sway bar kits that are designed to improve your BMW's handling characteristics and come with upgraded polyurethane bushings as well.

This Whiteline 27mm sway bar gives you more grip, better handling, and better outright performance. Sway bar upgrades are one of the best dollar-for-dollar investments you can make, improving your BMW's handling dynamics without affecting the comfort or ride quality.

This part fits the following BMWs:
1992-1999 E36 318i 318is 318ti 320i 323i 325i 325is 328i 328is 

The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Kit includes two front struts and two rear shocks. These shocks are for use with lowered springs such as from H&R or Eibach. We do not recommend that you use them with any factory spring, including factory sport package springs. With the increased damping rates from stock you will have much more control over body motions. These will give a much more buttoned down and taut feeling with lowering springs compared to stock shocks.

These shocks fit the following BMWs:

1992-1995 E36 325i, 325is, 318i, 318is **ON/AFTER 6/1992 PRODUCTION ONLY**
1992-1999 E36 318i, 318is, 318ic
1993-1995 E36 318ic / 325ic convertible
1995-1999 E36 318ti
1996-1998 E36 328i, 328is, 328ic, 323i, 323is, 323ic
1999-1999 E36 328is, 328ic, 323is, 323ic (two door models only in 1999)

Trailing arm bushings play a key role in connecting the wheels to the chassis of the vehicle. Tasked with keeping suspension geometry in check while absorbing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) factory rubber bushings were engineered to provide a balance of comfort and control. As a factory bushing ages, it becomes brittle and begins to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play in the suspension joint. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk forward after the car comes to a stop and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. By replacing the bushing with a full polyurethane unit or using a bushing insert, this play is eliminated since the suspension joint is being supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. Additionally, the inherent stiffness of the urethane material translates body forces much more directly. This means steering inputs from the driver are effectively transferred to the wheels and vital road information is transmitted properly from the wheels to the driver.

Powerflex Black Series bushings are the ultimate in track and race bushings. Featuring 95A durometer polyurethane, Black Series bushings are 25% stiffer than street bushings. Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm 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 steering feel, turn in, more responsive handling and overall improved chassis composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm 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. 

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.

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.
