Tasked with keeping the vehicles rear end firmly mounted while absorbing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) factory rubber subframe bushings were engineered to provide a balance of control while keeping the ride quality soft and supple. As a factory bushings age, they become brittle and begin to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play, or movement in the subframe. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk or "thunking" noise under acceleration and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. These poly inserts provide the inherent benefit of stiffness, which translates body forces much more directly. This means steering and acceleration 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? Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane 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.

Upgrade Your Ride with Powerflex Subframe Bushings Subframe bushings are the unsung heroes that keep your subframe snugly attached to the chassis of your ride. The stock rubber bushings that come with your car are a bit of a compromise. They aim to give you a smooth, comfy ride while still providing some decent handling. But here's where Powerflex steps in with their polyurethane subframe bushings. These babies are a bit firmer than your run-of-the-mill OEM bushings. What does that mean for you? Well, it translates to better handling, a more solid rear end (not what you're thinking), and a suspension that can flex its muscles without ruining your smooth ride. Powerflex is the go-to suspension bushing champ over in Europe. They know their stuff when it comes to polyurethane, and their high-tech manufacturing game is on point. They're all about making performance bushings that fit your ride like a glove. Plus, these are built to last longer than your typical rubber bushings while giving your BMW E9X 3 Series performance a kick in the rear (in a good way). Now, here's a pro tip for you: when you're installing these bad boys, it's a good idea to have some Powerflex Copper Grease PCG1 on hand. It'll make your life easier during the installation process. A bit of reapplication of that grease can keep those squeaks at bay and make your bushings last longer. So, what's the deal with different flavors of bushings, you ask? Well, if your ride is mainly hitting the streets with the occasional autocross or track day thrown in for fun, the Powerflex street bushings are your jam. But if you're building a track monster, then feast your eyes on the Powerflex Black Series. These beasts are 25% stiffer than the street version, ready to handle the extremes of track and race conditions. And here's the cherry on top: Powerflex stands by its products. They're so confident that they offer a lifetime warranty to the original buyer on all their gear. That's some serious peace of mind right there. So, whether you're looking to improve your ride's handling, reduce those squeaks, or amp up your track beast, Powerflex subframe bushings are the way to go. Your ride will thank you for it, and you'll be grinning behind the wheel. OE / OEM Cross Reference Numbers: 33316768645

The E82 and E90/E92 subframes have an inherent weakness in the rear subframe - the mounts are too soft for the power and torque these cars are capable of. The subframe is the heart of a BMW's rear suspension. As torque is transmitted through the differential and axles and as the tires grip the road, the subframe mounts are working to keeping everything in line. That's a tough task to hold when torque is increased with bigger boost (335i) or even mild tweaks (M3). While the M3 subframe mounts are a great upgrade for the non-M chassis these factory BMW Motorsport subframe mounts go one step further.

These Motorsport/Group N rear subframe bushings are a direct replacement upgrade over the stock mounts. They are rubber to conform to the rules of the Group N racing class - so they are still acceptable for street use as long as extra ride harshness can be tolerated. The rear subframe has to come down from the car for these mounts to be pressed in. So now is the perfect time to do other work as well - check out our other Motorsport Race bushings or M3 upgrades.

Price is for the set of 4 mounts.

These are Gargistic's original poly rear subframe bushings and are modified replacements that will not only reduce play in the rear suspension components substantially compared to the old and mushy OEM rubber bushings, but the "raised" design will move the subframe up 12mm to help correct some of the unwanted camber and toe that comes from lowering an E30. This has a similar effect to raising the suspension so the rear geometry resembles that of a stock height E30. The 12mm raised bushing's average geometry correction (camber and toe) is from -5 degrees to -1.5 degrees depending on your suspension setup. These bushings are slightly stiffer than the OEM units which will cause a tiny bit more NVH to be transferred through the chassis, but the benefits greatly outweigh the small sacrifice in comfort. 80A is the softest poly bushing in Garagistic's lineup and are perfect for a street performance E30 that will see the occasional autocross or track day. We highly recommend professional installation as these will require a press to install as well as remove your old bushings NOTE: When installing Garagistic raised subframe bushings, the differential mount will no longer line up with the mounting provision on the chassis, but there are a couple of solutions for this! The first option is to install extended studs and spacers onto the differential. This will effectively space the differential back down 12mm from the raised subframe back into the factory position. This will allow the use of a standard centered differential bushing and maintains the factory driveline geometry. The second option is to simply run an offset differential bushing. This will allow the differential to be mounted to the subframe in the factory orientation and the repositioned hole in the differential bushing to line up with the factory bracket. This will change the driveline geometry in the rear! Garagistic have used both methods with success on street and track applications.

For the BMW E46 M3, upgrading the rear subframe front bushings is a smart move for both performance enhancement and preventive maintenance. The rear subframe is a critical component in the E46 M3’s suspension system, and using stronger, more durable bushings helps to ensure the car’s longevity and improve its overall handling dynamics.

Features and Benefits of Upgraded Rear Subframe Front Bushings:

  • Enhanced Strength and Durability: Upgraded bushings, like those from Powerflex or AKG Motorsport, are made from materials such as polyurethane or even solid aluminum. These materials are much stronger than the stock rubber bushings, which tend to wear out, crack, and degrade over time due to exposure to heat, road grime, and oils.
  • Improved Handling Performance: By installing stiffer bushings, the rear subframe's movement is reduced, resulting in a more connected and responsive feel from the chassis. This leads to better handling, sharper cornering, and more precise suspension performance under load, making it ideal for track use or spirited street driving.
  • Increased Rear End Stability: With stronger bushings, the subframe stays more securely mounted to the chassis, reducing the flex that can occur during hard acceleration or cornering. This helps to enhance the rear end’s stability, giving drivers more confidence, especially in high-performance driving scenarios.
  • Protection Against Subframe Issues: The E46 M3 is notorious for rear subframe issues, where cracks can develop in the subframe mounting points over time. Upgrading the bushings helps distribute forces more evenly, reducing the likelihood of stress fractures and extending the life of the subframe.
  • Long-Term Solution: High-quality polyurethane or solid bushings are designed to last much longer than the OEM rubber ones. They provide a long-lasting upgrade that doesn’t degrade quickly, making them a "fit-and-forget" solution for many drivers.

Installation and Considerations:

  • Direct OEM Replacement: These upgraded bushings are designed to replace the factory bushings without the need for modification. However, installation can be labor-intensive, as the rear subframe must be dropped to access the bushings.
  • Reinforcement Opportunity: Since the E46 M3 is known for subframe cracking, many owners opt to upgrade their bushings in combination with rear subframe reinforcement plates, which are welded to the chassis to prevent cracks from forming. This makes it an ideal time to tackle both issues together.
  • Minimal Increase in NVH: Polyurethane bushings are stiffer than rubber but generally do not add a significant amount of noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH). However, solid aluminum bushings, while offering the highest performance, can introduce more NVH, which may not be ideal for daily driving.

Best Applications:

  • Performance Upgrades: If you're modifying your E46 M3 for track use, autocross, or performance street driving, upgrading to stiffer rear subframe front bushings is a must for better handling and durability.
  • Preventive Maintenance: Even if you're not tracking your car, replacing worn-out bushings with polyurethane or solid bushings can help prevent subframe issues and extend the life of your suspension system.

The Powerflex BMW E36 3 Series (1990-1998) Rear Subframe Rear Bushing (Heritage) is a premium suspension upgrade tailored for enthusiasts of classic BMW E36 models. It delivers modern performance improvements while preserving the car’s vintage style and comfort.

Key Features:

  • Heritage Aesthetic: Part of Powerflex’s Heritage Collection, this bushing features a vintage-inspired gray finish that blends seamlessly with the original components of the BMW E36, maintaining the authentic, period-correct look. It’s ideal for classic car owners who value subtlety in upgrades.
  • Advanced Polyurethane Construction: Built with modern polyurethane materials, this bushing offers superior resistance to wear, heat, and road contaminants compared to the original rubber bushings. The durability of this material significantly extends the life of the bushing, reducing the need for frequent replacements.
  • Improved Handling & Control: Designed to minimize unwanted movement in the rear subframe, the bushing ensures more consistent suspension alignment, resulting in sharper handling, better rear-end stability, and enhanced control during acceleration, cornering, and braking. It reduces subframe flex for improved overall driving dynamics.
  • Comfort-Oriented Performance: Unlike track-focused bushings, the Heritage bushing is tuned to retain a balance between improved handling and everyday comfort. It provides a firmer, more responsive feel than standard bushings but is still soft enough for a smooth, comfortable ride in daily driving conditions.

This Rear Subframe Rear Bushing from the Heritage Series is ideal for BMW E36 owners seeking to enhance their vehicle’s handling, reduce rear-end movement, and improve durability, all while maintaining the car’s original driving feel and classic appearance.

As a factory bushings age, they become brittle and begin to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play, or movement in the subframe. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk or "thunking" noise under acceleration and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. By replacing the bushings with full polyurethane this play is eliminated since the subframe is being held in place 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 and acceleration 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 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.
