BMW Suspension Parts for BMW Z Series E85/6 (2003-2008)

The subframe is integral to supporting and stabilizing crucial components such as control arms, engines, and transmissions. Bushings located at the junctions between the subframe and the vehicle's body play a vital role. These bushings act to dampen vibrations, ensuring a smoother ride by preventing excessive vibrations from reaching the cabin. They also contribute significantly to maintaining the subframe's stability, thereby keeping all components securely in position.

If you notice increased cabin vibrations or hear unusual sounds like clunks or knocks when driving over bumps, worn-out subframe bushings could be the issue. Replacing them with new bushings not only reduces vibrations but also improves overall stability and performance. This upgrade provides a secure mounting point for critical components like lower control arms, engines, and transmissions, enhancing your vehicle's ride quality and functionality.

Control arm bushings play a key role in connecting the wheels to the chassis of the vehicle. Tasked with keeping suspension geometry in check while absorbing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) factory rubber bushings were engineered to provide a balance of comfort and control. As a factory bushing ages, it becomes brittle and begins to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play in the suspension joint. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk forward after the car comes to a stop and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. By replacing the bushing with a full polyurethane unit or using a bushing insert, this play is eliminated since the suspension joint is being supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. Additionally, the inherent stiffness of the urethane material translates body forces much more directly. This means steering inputs from the driver are effectively transferred to the wheels and vital road information is transmitted properly from the wheels to the driver.

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 steering feel, turn in, more responsive handling and overall improved chassis composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings.
