Powerflex Black Series Differential Bushings

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. 

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 acceleration response, more direct shifting feel and overall improved drivetrain composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane 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. 

The Powerflex Rear Diff Mount Bushing for the BMW E21 offers a robust solution to support and stabilize the differential, replacing the standard rubber bushings with durable polyurethane. This upgrade minimizes unwanted differential movement, enhancing driving dynamics and responsiveness.

Key Benefits:

1. Enhanced Stability: By minimizing differential movement, Powerflex bushings ensure consistent alignment, giving better rear-end stability.
2. Improved Longevity: Unlike rubber, polyurethane is resistant to aging and degradation from elements like oil and road debris.
3. Responsive Handling: With reduced play in the differential mount, power transfer becomes more direct, allowing for sharper throttle response.
4. Vibration Dampening Options: Powerflex offers options like the Black Series for motorsport applications and the standard Purple for everyday performance with minimal increase in vibration.

These bushings are popular among E21 owners who want a durable, performance-oriented solution that balances comfort and handling precision. Ideal for both spirited driving and daily use.
