Sway bars transmit cornering forces from the outside wheels to the inside wheels, helping to keep the vehicle flat during cornering. This in turn reduces body roll and improves the driver's cornering confidence. OEM rubber sway bar bushings are designed with comfort in mind, allowing the sway bar to articulate while permitting additional movement, leading to less-than-ideal bar retention and causes unnecessary body roll.
Powerflex polyurethane sway bar bushings are firmer than factory rubber bushings, reducing body roll and keeping sway bars in check. Polyurethane bushings won't slop around like OEM bushings, allowing sway bars to function at their fullest potential.

This bushing specifically fits rear sway bars with a 18.5 mm diameter, providing better durability and handling for street-focused driving.
High-Quality Polyurethane: These bushings are constructed from polyurethane, a material that offers superior resistance to wear, heat, and common contaminants like oil and road debris.

Street Performance Optimized: While firmer than rubber bushings, Powerflex’s Street series is designed to offer a balance between comfort and performance. These bushings help reduce body roll and sway during cornering, providing better handling and control without making the ride too harsh for everyday driving.
Improved Handling and Stability: By reducing the flex in the sway bar, these bushings limit unnecessary movement in the suspension, improving the vehicle’s overall stability. This results in more predictable handling during turns and reduced body roll, which enhances driver confidence in both normal and spirited driving conditions.
Direct Replacement for Easy Installation: The Powerflex Rear Sway Bar Bushing is designed as a direct replacement for the factory-installed rubber bushings. No additional modifications are necessary, and the kit fits directly into the existing suspension setup for straightforward installation.
Longer Lifespan: Polyurethane bushings are resistant to common issues that plague rubber bushings, such as cracking, deterioration, and deformation due to heat or pressure. This ensures that the suspension performs consistently over time and reduces the need for frequent maintenance or replacement.
Upgrading to the Powerflex Rear Sway Bar Bushing - 18.5 mm Street for the BMW X3 is an excellent choice for those looking to enhance their vehicle’s handling characteristics without sacrificing comfort.
