Powerflex BMW Suspension Parts

MINI R50 to R61 Performance Polyurethane Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Set is designed to enhance rear suspension stability and vehicle handling. OEM rubber bushings, while initially effective, tend to deflect under load, leading to changes in suspension geometry, clunking sounds, and uneven tire wear. These Powerflex polyurethane bushings offer a firmer, more resilient alternative, significantly reducing deflection and improving handling performance. Engineered by Powerflex, Europe's top suspension bushing manufacturer, these bushings are built to exacting standards, providing superior durability and performance compared to factory options. Ideal for both daily driving and occasional track use, these bushings help maintain proper alignment and extend tire life. For best results, use Powerflex Copper Grease PCG1 during installation and reapply periodically to ensure a squeak-free operation.

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.

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.
