Please ensure your correct model is selected

The next step in tuning your car's handling - after shocks/springs and camber plates - should be a set of swaybars. Using larger front and rear sway bars will give your car better/quicker turn-in and less bodyroll in corners. These bars replace the existing sway bars on the car for a clean and simple upgrade with very little downside. Sway bars should be matched with your springs/shocks to maintain a proper handling balance. In some cases only a front or rear bar is needed to positively change the balance and make the car more neutral. We sell sway bar kits from H&R, Racing Dynamics, OE BMW upgrades, and even some of our own designs. Swaybars are sold with new bushings. New links and other hardware are strongly recommended.

The Powerflex Front Sway Bar Bushing for the BMW E24, E28, E39, and Z3 models, specifically designed for a 14mm sway bar, is a performance-enhancing upgrade that significantly improves the vehicle's handling characteristics. By replacing the stock rubber bushings with high-performance polyurethane, this product provides a range of benefits that enhance both driving experience and suspension performance.

Key Benefits:

  1. Enhanced Cornering Stability: The firmer polyurethane material of the bushing reduces unwanted flex in the sway bar, which minimizes body roll during cornering. This results in improved stability and traction, allowing for sharper handling and more confident navigation of curves.

  2. Increased Durability: Unlike standard rubber bushings that can deteriorate over time due to environmental factors, Powerflex bushings are designed to resist wear and tear from heat, oil, and road debris. This durability ensures consistent performance and longevity, making them a reliable choice for both daily driving and performance applications.

  3. Better Steering Feedback: The stiffer design improves the connection between the sway bar and the chassis, enhancing steering response and feedback. Drivers will experience a more connected feel to the road, leading to better control and an overall more engaging driving experience.

  4. Simple Installation Process: Tailored specifically for the E24, E28, E39, and Z3 with a 14mm sway bar, these bushings are a direct replacement for the original components. The installation is straightforward, requiring no modifications, which makes it an easy upgrade for both DIY mechanics and professionals.

  5. Versatile Performance: Whether for everyday use, spirited driving, or track applications, these bushings help optimize the vehicle's suspension setup. They improve overall handling dynamics and enhance tire contact with the road, resulting in a more responsive and stable driving experience.

This upgrade is perfect for BMW E24, E28, E39, and Z3 owners looking to enhance their vehicle's suspension performance. The Powerflex Front Sway Bar Bushing for the 14mm sway bar provides a solid solution for improving handling, stability, and overall driving enjoyment, making it an excellent choice for automotive enthusiasts seeking to elevate their driving experience.

    Factory-issued rubber sway bar bushings are engineered for commuter comfort, meaning they are prone to significant deflection under lateral loads. Over time, environmental exposure and hard cornering cycles cause these rubber units to soften, stretch, and perish, leading to unpredicted handling characteristics, delayed steering response, and vagueness at the limit.
