Sway bar bushings are located along the center of the bar. When they wear out, excess play is introduced which causes noise. Turner Motorsport carries OE BMW rubber bushings as well as high quality aftermarket for those looking to upgrade.
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.

In professional motorsport, chassis predictability and geometric stability are non-negotiable. Standard factory rubber bushings are designed for low-frequency compliance, but under dynamic loading, they suffer from significant deflection. This deflection distorts your suspension geometry, slows down anti-roll bar transition times, and masks critical feedback from the rear axle.
