These bushings replace the stock rubber bushings and offer a better driving feel, increased lifespan, and better wheel alignment.

Rubber bushing allow for a lot more movement and are more susceptible to wear and tear from spirited driving and harsh weather conditions. Polyurethane is much more resistant to wear and is stiffer, reducing the total amount of movement that would normally affect the alignment negatively.

Sway bars are an essential upgrade when trying to get the best handling capabilities out of your BMW. Stock sway bars allow for too much play and excessive body roll, not keeping the wheels as firmly planted as they should be. Whiteline offers their performance sway bar kits that are designed to improve your BMW's handling characteristics and come with upgraded polyurethane bushings as well.

This Whiteline 20mm sway bar gives you more grip, better handling, and better outright performance. Sway bar upgrades are one of the best dollar-for-dollar investments you can make, improving your BMW's handling dynamics without affecting the comfort or ride quality.
