BMW Sway Bar Kits for BMW 3 Series E36 (1992-1998)

Sway bar end links connect the swaybar to the rest of the suspension, preventing body roll and keeping everything in line in tight turns. This exposes these links to a high amount of stress and pressure, often leading to split bushings and sloppy body control and knocking noises. OEM Lemförder sway bar links are the perfect option to restore body control and eliminate knocking noises.

OEM Lemförder is an engineering company that focuses on high-quality, precision manufacturing of critical suspension and steering components. Providing exceptionally high quality parts directly to BMW, as well as 50+ other big name automotive companies, such as Mercedes and Audi, their history of reliability and variety of offered parts makes them one of the biggest names for a go-to OEM parts provider. Lemförder parts place an important emphasis on design, production, and assembly, ensuring maximum reliability. They even coat all parts possible with corrosion protection for extended longevity.

As a leading source of high performance BMW parts and accessories since 1993, we at Turner Motorsport are honored to be the go-to supplier for tens of thousands of enthusiasts the world over. With over two decades of parts, service, and racing experience under our belt, we provide only quality performance and replacement parts.  All of our performance parts are those we would (and do!) install and run on our own cars, as well as replacement parts that are Genuine BMW or from OEM manufacturers. We only offer parts we know you can trust to perform!

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.

The Powerflex 17mm Rear Sway Bar Bushings for the BMW E24 and E28 provide a performance-oriented upgrade that enhances the handling and stability of these classic models. By replacing the standard rubber bushings with high-quality polyurethane, these bushings ensure that the rear sway bar operates at its full potential.

Key Benefits:

1. Enhanced Stability During Cornering: The firmer polyurethane composition minimizes flex in the sway bar, resulting in reduced body roll and improved stability when navigating corners.
2. Long-Lasting Durability: Designed to resist wear from oil, heat, and environmental exposure, these bushings outlast traditional rubber options, ensuring reliable performance over time.
3. Improved Responsiveness: The reduced movement in the sway bar mounting allows for a more direct steering response, giving drivers a better connection to the road.
4. Designed for 17mm Sway Bars: Tailored specifically for BMW E24 and E28 models with a 17mm rear sway bar, these bushings offer easy installation and a perfect fit.

This upgrade is ideal for BMW owners looking to enhance their vehicle's handling characteristics, providing a more engaging driving experience while maintaining durability for both everyday use and spirited driving.

Unlock sharper handling and enhanced suspension geometry with this limited-time Doorbuster package. Designed for the E36 M3, this kit combines adjustable front sway bar end links, billet aluminum sway bar brackets, and polyurethane bushings to eliminate unwanted deflection, improve response, and deliver the track-ready precision your BMW deserves.

ADJUSTABLE FRONT SWAY BAR END LINKS — 215–275MM

ECS Tuning’s Adjustable Front Sway Bar End Links allow fine-tuning of your sway bar geometry for optimal balance and performance. With a generous 60mm (2.36") range of adjustability, you can precisely eliminate sway bar preload caused by lowered ride heights or coilover setups—ensuring predictable, neutral handling in all conditions.

Each link features a CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum body, anodized in red for corrosion resistance and durability. The design incorporates left- and right-hand threaded sections for quick, on-car adjustments without disassembly. Heavy-duty ball joint ends with rubber dust boots and stainless retainers provide long service life, while zinc-plated hardware ensures strength and rust resistance.

Technical Specs:

Adjustment Range: 215mm (8.46") – 275mm (10.82")

Billet aluminum, red anodized center sections

Heavy-duty M10x1.5 ball joints with weather-resistant boots

Zinc-plated hardware & Nyloc locking nuts

Left/right-hand threaded adjustment for easy tuning

Fitment Note: If your E36 M3 has aftermarket struts or coilovers, confirm the distance between your sway bar and the strut body at ride height. Proper fitment requires a length between 215–275mm.

ECS BILLET FRONT SWAY BAR BRACKETS WITH POLYURETHANE BUSHINGS — PAIR

Replace flimsy factory brackets with ECS Tuning’s Billet Front Sway Bar Mounting Kit. Engineered from CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet aluminum, these brackets dramatically reduce deflection, delivering faster reaction time and a more connected front end.

The included red polyurethane bushings feature a greaseable channel for long-lasting, quiet operation. The brackets are Type II black anodized for superior corrosion protection and paired with Class 12.9 zinc-flake coated hardware to ensure secure, worry-free installation.

Performance Benefits:

Rigid billet aluminum brackets minimize sway bar deflection

Polyurethane bushings enhance roll resistance and response

Greaseable design for quieter, longer service life

Improved steering feel and flatter cornering

Installation Notes: Installation is simple and completely reversible—just unbolt your OE brackets, install the ECS poly bushings and billet mounts with supplied hardware, and torque to spec. Fitment is intentionally snug against ECS sway bar stops; press firmly to align and fasten. Use conventional bearing grease during assembly for best results.
