Powerflex BMW Suspension Bushings & Mounts

The Powerflex Rear Sway Bar Bushings for the BMW E30, E28, and E24 with a 13mm sway bar are engineered to enhance rear-end stability and handling by replacing the stock rubber bushings with durable polyurethane. This upgrade helps to maximize the sway bar's efficiency, delivering a more responsive and controlled ride.

Key Features:

1. Enhanced Stability in Turns: Firmer polyurethane construction minimizes sway bar flex, giving more control and reducing body roll during cornering.
2. Extended Lifespan: Unlike rubber, these bushings resist cracking, degradation, and wear caused by exposure to oil, moisture, and heat.
3. Sharper Handling Response: The rigid material creates a more direct link between the sway bar and chassis, providing a firmer, more planted feel on the road.
4. Direct Fit for 13mm Sway Bars: Custom-designed for BMW models with a 13mm rear sway bar, ensuring accurate fitment and easy installation.

This upgrade is ideal for BMW owners seeking to improve handling precision and sway bar longevity, whether for spirited street driving or light track use.

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 street bushings are ideal for street driven vehicles and those that see occasional autocross or track time. Need bushings for a dedicated track car? 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.
