Drivetrain Mounts and Upgrades

Enhance rear-end control and put more power to the ground with a straightforward 3-piece design that installs with ease. The factory rubber may favor ride comfort, but it struggles to keep up when driving gets aggressive. As it wears, the OEM bushing can soften and deform, reducing stability and allowing wheel hop to creep in when you need traction most.

Our 95A durometer polyurethane bushings solve that problem. Engineered to strike the perfect balance between soft factory rubber and harsh solid mounts, they significantly reduce differential movement without introducing excessive vibration. The result is more efficient power transfer, so your torque goes straight to the rear wheels instead of being lost in drivetrain flex.

Features & Benefits:

Minimizes differential movement and instability to help eliminate wheel hop
Two-piece 95A split polyurethane design for easier installation
Precision-fit insert reinforces the bushing and strengthens mounting points
Resistant to road salt, oils, and harsh chemicals
Compatible with dual mount differential plates
Design:

Type II Anodized 6061-T6 CNC billet aluminum inserts for superior corrosion resistance and durability.
95A Polyurethane 2-Piece Isolator.
Product Development:

Our Rear Differential Bushings are designed, engineered, tested, and quality inspected by our Research & Development team. Our development process includes leading-edge product technology: FARO laser scanning for reverse engineering and quality inspection, SolidWorks 3D CAD modeling, rapid prototyping utilizing our in-house 3D printer, and rigorous long-term product testing.

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. 

This part fits the following BMWs:
2001 - 2006 E46 M3

Upgrade your Mini with the PFF5-220 Lower Torque Mount Bracket & Bushing, designed to replace the softer OE mount prone to cracking and excessive engine movement. Ideal for standard or mildly tuned cars, this mount bracket is 300% stiffer than the worn OE mount, offering improved handling and gear shifting precision for fast road use. With CNC machined aluminum construction and various durometer bushing options, it reduces engine movement while enhancing on/off throttle balance. Easy to install with just two bolts, it eliminates the need for pressing out rubber. Expect a slight increase in NVH, particularly at idle.

Benefits:

• 300% stiffer than OE mount
• Reduces engine movement and wheel hop
• Improves handling and gear shifting precision
• Easy installation with two bolts
• Compatible with standard or mildly tuned cars
