BMW Control Arm Replacements & Upgrades

These bushings have the hole off-center to give your car a little more track, caster, and camber. This style came as standard equipment on E30 M3s (8/89-later) and 1995 E36 M3 but will work with any E30, E36, Z3.

Rubber control arm bushings are designed to flex and absorb energy. That's fine on a streetcar but on an all-out racing machine you want your alignment to stay constant. We have picked Delrin for this application due to its high rigidity and low coefficient of friction allowing for minimal suspension bushing deflection (geometry change) but decreasing bushing windup or drag (friction). They are not recommended for street-use but highly-recommended for track cars.

To save time, pick up a pair of new bushing carrier brackets and hardware. This will save you the time and hassle of pressing out the old bushings. This will especially save you time if you're buying new control arms at the same time (no time wasted removing the old brackets from the arms). Stainless steel set screws included.

MINI R55 to R61 Race Polyurethane Rear Trailing Arm Complete Bushing Set is designed to keep the rear suspension properly triangulated, ensuring your vehicle moves as directed. Unlike factory-fresh OEM rubber bushings that allow for deflection and cause suspension geometry changes, these Powerflex polyurethane bushings are firmer, reducing deflection and improving handling over bumps. Proper alignment with these bushings also extends tire wear.

Powerflex, Europe's top-selling suspension bushing manufacturer, uses advanced techniques to produce these premium performance bushings, made to exact-fit standards. Built to last longer than OEM rubber bushings, they enhance performance and provide a more engaging driving experience.

• Reduces deflection for improved suspension stability
• Firmer and more durable than OEM rubber bushings
• Enhances handling and extends tire wear with proper alignment
• Exact-fit manufacturing for easy installation
• Recommended use of Powerflex Copper Grease PCG1 for installation
• Suitable for both street-driven and track vehicles
• Backed by Powerflex Lifetime Warranty

Looking for upgraded lower control arms that don't limit adjustment capabilities like the OE control arms? These Turner Performance Lower Control Arms may be exactly what you need! These CNC'd billet aluminum control arms allow you to adjust roll center, camber, and track width easily and lock in your adjustments securely.

The construction of these control arms allows for significant weight savings, reducing unsprung weight, while maintaining high levels of strength that is up to track use and abuse. Instead of using traditional jam nuts, these Turner Control Arms utilize a pinch bolt and rotating clamp design that allows high clamping forces to lock in track width and camper specifications without making it difficult to keep bearings properly aligned. Stainless steel spacers are included to enable roll center correction for lowered vehicles. To further improve control arm operation over the OE design, these control arms use FK rod ends and high misalignment solid spherical bushings to get rid of binding and flex.

Features:

Lightweight Aluminum, Titanium, Chromoly and Stainless Steel construction
Correct ball joint angle for full articulation
Clamp design allows for easy access to lock down your alignment settings
Low friction 3-piece Teflon lined FK spherical bushings and Heim joints/rod ends
Multiple size stainless steel roll center spacers for precise adjustment

MINI R50 to R53 Race Polyurethane Rear Trailing Arm Complete Bushing Set is designed to keep the rear suspension properly triangulated and ensure the vehicle moves precisely where directed. Factory-fresh OEM rubber bushings are prone to deflection, leading to suspension geometry changes during hard launches, over bumps, and while cornering. This deflection causes clunking, a "rear steer" sensation, and uneven tire wear. Powerflex polyurethane bushings are firmer than OEM bushings, reducing deflection, improving handling, and extending tire life. Key benefits include:

• Reduces deflection for improved suspension stability
• Enhances handling over bumps and during cornering
• Extends tire life with proper alignment
• Durable polyurethane construction for long-lasting performance
• Ideal for track and race applications with Powerflex Black Series
• Suitable for street-driven vehicles with Powerflex street bushings
• Lifetime warranty for the original purchaser

MINI R50 to R53 Black Series Polyurethane Front Control Arm Rear Bushings Caster Adjusted is designed to enhance performance and handling for MINI enthusiasts. This upgrade provides an additional +2° of caster, resulting in improved steering precision and vehicle geometry. These bushings are engineered to deliver exceptional grip, steering control, and reduced movement under cornering and braking.

• Enhanced Steering Precision: Adds +2° of caster for improved steering feel and control.
• Improved Handling: Provides better grip and reduced movement in the control arm during cornering and braking.
• Superior Performance: Engineered with advanced polyurethane for high-performance driving with less NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness).
• Durability: Outlasts OEM rubber bushings while maintaining a balance of comfort and control.
• Advanced Engineering: Developed by Powerflex, the leading manufacturer in Europe, known for precision and longevity.

Installation Tip: Use Powerflex Copper Grease PCG1 for easier installation and to extend the bushings' squeak-free service life.
