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.

The Powerflex Front Sway Bar Bushing for the BMW E36 3 Series (1990-1998), specifically designed for a 28mm sway bar, is an essential upgrade for enhancing the vehicle's performance and handling characteristics. By substituting the factory rubber bushings with high-quality polyurethane, this bushing delivers multiple advantages that improve driving dynamics.
Improved Cornering Stability: The firmer polyurethane construction reduces flex in the sway bar, which significantly minimizes body roll during cornering. This enhancement leads to better traction and stability, allowing drivers to navigate turns with more confidence and control.
Durable Performance: Powerflex bushings are engineered to withstand the rigors of daily driving and high-performance situations. They resist wear from heat, oil, and road debris, providing longer-lasting performance compared to traditional rubber bushings, which can degrade over time.
Enhanced Road Feedback: The upgraded material provides better feedback to the driver, resulting in improved steering precision and a more connected feel to the road. This enhancement allows drivers to respond more effectively to changes in the driving environment, contributing to an engaging driving experience.
Direct Replacement for Easy Installation: Designed specifically for the E36 3 Series with a 28mm sway bar, these bushings are a direct fit into the factory mounts. This ensures a straightforward installation process without the need for modifications or special tools.
Versatile for Various Driving Conditions: Whether for daily commuting or spirited driving on the track, these bushings enhance the overall performance of the front suspension. They help optimize suspension geometry, improving tire contact and overall handling capabilities.
This upgrade is perfect for BMW E36 3 Series owners looking to boost their vehicle’s handling and overall performance. The Powerflex Front Sway Bar Bushing for the 28mm sway bar is a reliable choice that improves the effectiveness of the front suspension system, making it suitable for a wide range of driving styles and conditions.
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.
