Bushing Upgrade Packages

The Powerflex Rear Beam Bushing for BMW E24 6 Series and E28 5 Series is a performance-oriented solution designed to improve the handling and stability of these classic BMWs by replacing the worn-out factory rubber bushings with high-quality polyurethane versions.

Key Features:

1. High-Performance Polyurethane: Unlike the factory rubber bushings, which degrade over time due to age, heat, and exposure to oils, Powerflex bushings are made from long-lasting polyurethane. This material is more resistant to wear and provides consistent performance in various driving conditions.

2. Increased Rear-End Stability: The rear beam bushing controls the movement of the rear suspension. By upgrading to Powerflex bushings, you reduce flex and movement in the rear suspension, resulting in a more stable and predictable rear end. This is especially important in older models where worn-out bushings can cause excessive body roll and instability.

3. Handling Improvements: Powerflex bushings tighten up the rear suspension, which helps improve cornering performance and reduces rear-end sway. With better alignment retention, you’ll experience sharper, more responsive handling, especially during spirited driving or cornering.

4. Two Versions for Different Needs:

   • Road Series: This version provides a balance between performance and comfort, offering an improvement in handling while keeping the ride quality close to factory levels. It's ideal for daily drivers who want better control without a significant increase in noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH).
   • Black Series: For those looking for maximum performance, especially in motorsport or track settings, the Black Series bushings are made from stiffer polyurethane. They offer increased control at the cost of higher NVH, making them suited for drivers focused on performance over comfort.

5. Direct OEM Replacement: These bushings are designed to replace the OEM bushings without the need for custom modifications. This makes installation relatively straightforward, though professional installation is recommended for optimal results.

6. Longevity and Durability: Powerflex bushings offer long-term reliability, lasting far longer than rubber bushings. They resist common forms of wear such as cracking and deterioration, which often plague rubber bushings over time in older BMWs like the E24 and E28.

Applications:

• BMW E24 6 Series (1976-1989)
• BMW E28 5 Series (1981-1988)

Upgrading to Powerflex Rear Beam Bushings is ideal for BMW enthusiasts who want to restore or enhance their classic car’s handling. Whether for daily driving or track use, these bushings provide better stability, handling precision, and durability, making your vintage BMW more capable and fun to drive.
