Replace your inner control arm bushings with performance Powerflex bushings to tighten up your control and improve stability. *Door Buster Special - New Product* This is a replacement part that uses the Black Series material to boost stiffness over the original part by 18% to withstand increased loading seen by this position on the car. If the control arm bushings on your vehicle are beginning to fail, it will become quickly apparent. Suspension noise will be drastically increased, there will be steering wheel shake when hitting road hazards, and the entire car will have an all around loose feel. This can also lead to premature tire failure as alignment is negatively affected. Replace your control arm bushings to give your entire suspension a tighter feel. Rattling over bumps, a loose feeling when driving, and play in the front wheels is the main indicator that your bushings may be failing. The stock rubber tends to get dry rotted, wear out, and cause play in the attachment point for the control arm. Replace yours when they wear out, or when replacing a control arm that didn't include these pieces.

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.

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.

These urethane performance bushings replace the stock rubber front upper control arm bushings on the 2006-2010 E60 525xi/528xi/530xi/535xi xDrive AWD models. Stock rubber control arm bushings give a disconnected and mushy feel to the front suspension, especially when worn as the bushing deflects more than it should. You get sloppy steering, vibrations, and poor handling which makes the car feel unstable. These urethane bushings are stiffer than stock rubber and will not deflect as much. This helps keep the alignment in check with less variation. The car feels more planted and confidence-inspiring. And a limited lifetime warranty means you'll likely never have to pay for another bushing ever again.

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.

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.

Sway bars play a crucial role in transmitting cornering forces from the outside wheels to the inside wheels, ensuring your vehicle stays flat during sharp turns. However, OEM rubber bushings can lead to unnecessary body roll due to their flexible nature, compromising the effectiveness of the sway bars.

Powerflex polyurethane bushings offer a firmer alternative to OEM rubber, providing improved bar retention and minimizing sloppiness during cornering. This results in enhanced handling capabilities and a more engaging driving experience.

As the leading suspension bushing manufacturer in Europe, Powerflex leverages its expertise in polyurethane materials and advanced manufacturing techniques to produce premium bushings that meet exact-fit standards. Whether you're driving on the street or hitting the track, Powerflex bushings are built to last longer than OEM rubber counterparts while delivering superior performance.

For easy installation and prolonged service life, we recommend using Powerflex Copper Grease PCG1. This grease helps reduce squeaks and ensures optimal performance of the bushings over time.

For dedicated track cars seeking maximum stiffness, Powerflex Black Series bushings with a 95A durometer polyurethane material are the ultimate choice, offering 25% more stiffness than street bushings.

To top it off, Powerflex stands behind its products with a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser, providing peace of mind and assurance of quality and durability. Upgrade your suspension with Powerflex and experience the difference in handling performance.

For BMW E46 (3 Series), Z4, and X3, upgrading to Powerflex rear subframe rear bushings is an effective way to improve the durability and handling of the suspension system. Powerflex polyurethane bushings are a popular upgrade over the factory rubber bushings, offering enhanced performance and longevity, particularly for cars used in performance driving or that are susceptible to subframe wear.

Features and Benefits of Powerflex Rear Subframe Rear Bushings:

  • High-Performance Polyurethane Material: Powerflex bushings are constructed from polyurethane, which is significantly more resistant to deterioration than rubber. Polyurethane is less affected by elements like heat, road debris, and oils, ensuring that the bushings maintain their performance characteristics for much longer.
  • Enhanced Handling Precision: One of the primary benefits of polyurethane bushings is reduced subframe movement. By replacing the flexible rubber bushings with stiffer polyurethane versions, you’ll experience sharper handling, more precise suspension response, and improved chassis control, especially during hard acceleration, cornering, and braking.
  • Reduced Subframe Flex: The rear subframe is subjected to significant forces, particularly under high-performance driving conditions. Powerflex bushings help reduce the flex that can occur in the subframe, keeping the rear end more stable, improving vehicle control, and enhancing cornering performance.
  • Longevity and Reliability: Powerflex bushings are engineered to outlast the stock rubber bushings by a significant margin. They are designed to endure the demands of high-performance driving without deteriorating, which leads to fewer replacements over the life of the vehicle.
  • Optimized NVH Balance: While stiffer than rubber bushings, Powerflex designs its bushings to minimize the increase in noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). This ensures that the bushings provide improved handling without compromising ride comfort, making them suitable for daily drivers as well as performance-focused cars.

Installation Considerations:

  • Direct Replacement: Powerflex bushings are manufactured to be direct replacements for the factory bushings, meaning they fit into the stock locations without modification. However, accessing the rear subframe for installation can be a complex task, often requiring the subframe to be dropped, so professional installation is recommended.
  • Subframe Reinforcement: For vehicles like the BMW E46, known for rear subframe cracking, many owners choose to upgrade their bushings alongside subframe reinforcement plates. This combination helps prevent the stress fractures that can occur in the mounting points.

Applications:

  • BMW E46 (3 Series)
  • BMW Z4 (E85/E86)
  • BMW X3 (E83)

Suitable For:

  • Daily Driving and Performance Use: Whether you're using your BMW for spirited street driving or taking it to the track, Powerflex rear subframe rear bushings provide improved handling and stability without significantly increasing NVH.
  • Subframe Longevity: If your car is prone to subframe issues or you want to take preventive measures, upgrading to these bushings will help reduce the wear on critical suspension components, extending the life of the subframe and related parts.

By upgrading to Powerflex rear subframe rear bushings, BMW E46, Z4, and X3 owners can expect improved handling, reduced subframe flex, and longer-lasting suspension performance, making it an ideal upgrade for both street and track use. These bushings strike a great balance between enhancing performance while maintaining daily driving comfort.
