Differential bushings are responsible for keeping the differential in solid alignment while dampening drivetrain vibration. While OE rubber bushings are fine when they are new from the factory, aged and worn out rubber bushings create a multitude of issues that can range from annoying to dangerous. As a factory bushing ages, it begins to harden and become brittle. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow for movement at the differential mounting point. At this point, the differential is free to shift under load causing a noticeable clunking noise under acceleration and deceleration and massively increasing the stress on the driveshaft and axles. Manual transmissions suffer the worst from this as it can make shifting difficult since the differential will shift when the clutch is engaged and disengaged.
By replacing these bushings with full polyurethane, the movement is eliminated since the mounting point is supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. This means less stress on the driveshaft and axles and greater longevity of supporting components.
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 acceleration response, more direct shifting feel and overall improved drivetrain composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane 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.
The Powerflex Rear Differential Rear Mount Bushings for the BMW E39 5 Series are designed to provide a significant upgrade to the vehicle's rear differential system by replacing the stock rubber bushings with high-performance polyurethane. This enhancement leads to improved handling, stability, and durability.
Enhanced Differential Control: The stiffer polyurethane material reduces unwanted movement and flex in the differential mount, ensuring better alignment and stability under load. This translates to improved power delivery and handling during cornering and acceleration.
Increased Longevity: These bushings are crafted to resist wear and degradation from oil, heat, and road debris, offering superior durability compared to traditional rubber bushings. This longevity ensures that the performance benefits are maintained over time.
Improved Driver Feedback: By minimizing movement in the rear differential, these bushings enhance the connection between the vehicle and the driver. This results in better feedback and control, allowing for a more engaging driving experience.
Direct Fit for Easy Installation: Designed specifically for the E39 5 Series, these bushings fit directly into the existing differential mounts, facilitating a hassle-free installation process without the need for modifications.
This upgrade is perfect for BMW E39 5 Series enthusiasts who want to improve their vehicle's handling and performance, making it suitable for both daily driving and spirited performance applications. The Powerflex Rear Differential Rear Mount Bushings provide a reliable solution to enhance the overall effectiveness of the rear suspension system.
