Rear Control Arm for BMW 3 Series E91 (2006-2012)

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.

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.

BMW E9X M3/1M Rear Upper Control Arm Upgrade Kit is the ultimate solution for enhancing control and handling in non-M 1 or 3-Series vehicles. This upgrade is not only highly recommended but is one of the most effective enhancements available. The M3 control arms are crafted from solid aluminum, replacing the factory's weak sheet-metal control arms. This is crucial for BMWs equipped with power upgrades or sportier tires, as the factory arms tend to flex and twist, leading to instability and unpredictable handling.

Key features of the M3 control arms include a robust design with a sealed monoball bushing, allowing for rotation instead of twisting. This results in significantly more predictable and precise handling without sacrificing ride quality. There are no downsides to this upgrade.

Kit Includes:

• M3 rear upper guide links
• M3 rear upper wishbone arms
• ABS brackets

For additional enhancement, subframe bushings and sway bars from the M3 can also be integrated.

Benefits:

• Improved Handling: Provides precise steering response and enhances overall vehicle control.
• Enhanced Durability: Solid aluminum construction offers superior strength compared to factory options.
• Easy Installation: Designed for a direct fit, making upgrades straightforward.
• Seamless Compatibility: Works well with existing components and further upgrades.

Essential for multiple points in the rear suspension, this hardware should be replaced to guarantee a durable and reliable repair. Don’t overlook the importance of fresh components for optimal performance!
