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 BMW E39 540, M5 (1996 - 2004) Front Inner Track Control Arm Bushing is a vital component in the suspension system, providing stability and precision to the front control arms. Designed to withstand the rigors of daily driving and performance demands, this bushing helps maintain optimal alignment, handling, and overall ride quality in the high-performance E39 540i and M5 models.

Key Features:

1. High-Quality Material:

   • Constructed from durable rubber or polyurethane, these bushings are designed to endure constant stress, ensuring long-lasting performance under both normal and aggressive driving conditions.

2. Enhanced Suspension Performance:

   • The bushing reduces excessive movement in the control arm, ensuring improved suspension alignment and handling characteristics. This is especially important in performance models like the BMW 540i and M5, where precision handling is critical.

3. Minimized Vibration and Noise:

   • Worn or degraded bushings can allow vibrations to travel through the suspension system into the cabin. New bushings help dampen these vibrations, resulting in a smoother, quieter, and more comfortable driving experience.

4. Improved Steering Response:

   • By reducing flex and movement in the control arm connection, these bushings provide a more direct and responsive steering feel. This is particularly noticeable in cornering and high-speed driving, where handling precision is essential.

5. Direct Fit for Easy Installation:

   • These bushings are designed as direct-fit replacements for the original parts, ensuring easy installation for BMW E39 540i and M5 models. They restore the vehicle to factory performance or better, depending on material choice (rubber vs. polyurethane).

6. Polyurethane Upgrade for Performance Enthusiasts:

   • For those seeking even greater performance, polyurethane bushings offer increased rigidity and longevity over traditional rubber. This upgrade provides sharper handling and reduces bushing flex, making it ideal for track or spirited driving.

Benefits of Upgrading or Replacing:

• Restore Suspension Integrity: Worn-out bushings can cause poor suspension geometry, leading to uneven tire wear and compromised handling. Replacing the bushings restores proper alignment and control.
• Better Ride Quality: Fresh bushings absorb impacts and vibrations more effectively, improving the overall ride comfort, especially in high-mileage vehicles.
• Sharper Handling and Steering: New bushings ensure more precise control arm movement, translating into better steering feedback and cornering performance.

In conclusion, the BMW E39 540, M5 Front Inner Track Control Arm Bushing is a crucial part of the suspension system, responsible for maintaining alignment and handling dynamics. Whether you’re replacing worn bushings or upgrading to polyurethane for enhanced performance, this component ensures that your BMW E39 540i or M5 delivers the precision and comfort it was designed for.
