MINI R56 Lower Control Arm / Wishbone Bushing With Bracket - Set is essential for anyone experiencing play in their front suspension or excessive tire wear. This critical component serves as the main connection in the MINI suspension system, absorbing road vibrations while providing a tighter and more responsive ride. If you’ve noticed that your suspension is slow to respond, replacing the lower control arm bushing is a necessary step towards improving handling and safety.

• Includes Bushings Pre-installed: Simplifies installation by eliminating the need for pressing bushings into the bracket.
• Enhanced Durability: Manufactured by Meyle HD, these parts are designed to be more robust and longer-lasting than OEM equivalents.
• Complete Set: Comes with both left and right-hand side components for a balanced upgrade.
• Improved Suspension Response: Upgrading to this kit provides better handling and reduces wear on tires.
• Easy Installation: Designed for a straightforward replacement process for most applications.

MINI R Chassis Positive Steering Response System (PSRS) w/Urethane Bushing

Engineered for Mini Cooper R Chassis owners seeking improved handling, this system offers a host of benefits:

• Enhanced steering response for precise control
• Reduced body roll for better cornering performance
• Urethane bushings for improved durability and reliability
• Easy installation with included hardware

MINI F55 to F57 Front Control Arm Front Bushings With Fixed Camber Offset are engineered to enhance wheel geometry and performance. Featuring CNC-machined aluminum outer shells with a fixed offset bore, these bushings are designed to withstand curb strikes and the extreme lateral forces from slick tires and circuit racing. The bushings are made from Black 95A durometer material with a knurled bore, offering increased stiffness (+60%) and durability compared to OE rubber bushings. This design minimizes control arm stiction and significantly reduces deflection.

• Enhanced Durability: CNC-machined aluminum outer shells with fixed offset bore provide superior strength and resilience.
• Improved Stiffness: Black 95A durometer bushings offer increased stiffness (+60%) over factory rubber, reducing deflection and control arm stiction.
• Optimized Camber: Increases negative camber by 0.75°, improving grip and wheel geometry.
• Tested Performance: Approved by the Mini Challenge in the UK for reliable, grip-focused wheel alignment.
• Advanced Construction: Knurled bore ensures a secure fit and enhanced durability under extreme conditions.

These bushings are ideal for those seeking improved handling and performance for their MINI F55 to F57.

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. 

This part fits the following BMWs:
2006 - 2008 E86 Z4 3.0si Z4 M Coupe
2002 - 2008 E85 Z4 Roadster Z4 2.5i Z4 3.0i Z4 3.0si Z4 M Roadster

Bushings tends to wear over time and split or even break free from the internal sleeve, causing excessive movement and sloppy control feel. OEM Lemförder bushings are the perfect option to restore suspension back to day 1 quality.
