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

MINI R50 to R61 Performance Polyurethane Rear Trailing Arm Bushing Set is designed to enhance rear suspension stability and vehicle handling. OEM rubber bushings, while initially effective, tend to deflect under load, leading to changes in suspension geometry, clunking sounds, and uneven tire wear. These Powerflex polyurethane bushings offer a firmer, more resilient alternative, significantly reducing deflection and improving handling performance. Engineered by Powerflex, Europe's top suspension bushing manufacturer, these bushings are built to exacting standards, providing superior durability and performance compared to factory options. Ideal for both daily driving and occasional track use, these bushings help maintain proper alignment and extend tire life. For best results, use Powerflex Copper Grease PCG1 during installation and reapply periodically to ensure a squeak-free operation.

• Improved Stability: Reduces deflection and maintains consistent suspension geometry.
• Enhanced Handling: Provides better handling over bumps and during cornering.
• Durable Construction: High-quality polyurethane material ensures longer lifespan and reliability.
• Precision Engineering: Made to exact-fit standards for superior performance.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for street driving and occasional track use; consider Powerflex Black Series for dedicated track cars.
• Lifetime Warranty: Backed by Powerflex to the original purchaser.

Control arms are some of the most crucial components on a BMW suspension. The control arms literally control the wheel and suspension as they go through their range of motions. A faulty or worn control arm or ball joint is a very dangerous and potentially life-threatening problem so make sure they are inspected and replaced at regular intervals. For a street-driven car we advise yearly inspection and a full replacement every 3-4 years. For track-driven cars these should be inspected before every event and replaced every two years.
