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.

Control 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 street bushings are ideal for street driven vehicles and those that see occasional autocross or track time. Need bushings for a dedicated track car? 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.
