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.

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.

Includes both brackets and all new installation hardware. The stock aluminum sway bar brackets in the E39 5-Series suffer from a serious design flaw that has resulted in many people experiencing snapping and misshapen brackets, a mounting tab that is simply too weak. Not only was the OE bracket not designed to handle the loads required, but the aluminum construction was also easily fatigued over time, making an already questionable bracket weaker over time. This sub-par construction eventually leads to the mounting tab breaking off, releasing all tension on the sway bar, causing sloppy handling feel and knocking noises in the rear of your BMW. Luckily for all of us, the fix is simple. By swapping the construction from aluminum to steel, while maintaining all of the original dimensions, these brackets offer 3 times the mounting strength versus the OE brackets! This ensures that no matter how many track days or spirited weekends of driving your BMW sees, you can rest easy knowing your rear sway bar is securely mounted. To top it all off, these brackets are also zinc-coated, keeping away rust and corrosion for years. Why go steel E39 brackets instead of using E38 brackets? Fitment. Although the E38 bracket is a commonly suggested upgrade, it does require a bit of modification to fit properly and usually results in a bit of bushing compression, making your sway bar difficult to install.

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.

One of the most important connections in this system is the sway bar bushings. If they are soft or worn, some of that energy going to the other side is lost from too much sway bar flex or bushing give. To keep everything tight and responsive, it's best to replace your bushings.
