RTABs play a key role in connecting the wheels to the chassis of the vehicle. Tasked with keeping suspension geometry in check while absorbing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) factory rubber bushings were engineered to provide a balance of comfort and control. As a factory bushing ages, it becomes brittle and begins to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play in the suspension joint. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk forward after the car comes to a stop and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. By replacing the bushing with a full polyurethane unit or using a bushing insert, this play is eliminated since the suspension joint is being supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. Additionally, the inherent stiffness of the urethane material translates body forces much more directly. This means steering inputs from the driver are effectively transferred to the wheels and vital road information is transmitted properly from the wheels to the driver.

Powerflex street bushings are ideal for street driven vehicles and those that see occasional autocross or track time. Need bushings for a dedicated track car? 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 steering feel, turn in, more responsive handling and overall improved chassis composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm 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.

Introduced in the late 1990s, the DISA (Differenzierte Sauganlage or differentiated intake system) valve plays a crucial role in adjusting the intake manifold's effective length. This mechanism incorporates a flap that opens and closes in response to DME inputs, optimizing airflow for both high and low RPM use.

Although the DISA system marked a significant leap in engine efficiency, it has become a common point of failure in older BMW models. The flap is secured to the body using a plastic pin, prone to degradation over time due to heat exposure. A malfunctioning DISA valve can lead to various issues, ranging from power loss to severe engine damage.

Signs of DISA valve failure include:

Audible rattling from the upper intake manifold. Power loss during different RPM/load conditions. Decreased fuel efficiency due to improper flap operation or valve failure. Illuminated SES/Service Engine Soon light, indicating lean/rich conditions or misfires (common DTCs include: P1083, P1084, P1347, P1348). Potential valvetrain damage as a result of flap pin failure, leading to plastic and metal debris circulating in the engine. If you notice any of these symptoms, it's crucial to replace the DISA valve promptly to avoid further engine complications. Continued use with a faulty DISA valve can escalate to extensive engine repairs or replacement.

Fortunately, Febi-Bilstein offers a high-quality OE DISA valve designed for seamless integration, ensuring optimal fit, finish, and functionality. Installing this valve is straightforward, requiring basic hand tools and less than an hour of your time. Restore your engine's performance and safeguard against major damage by upgrading to a new DISA valve from Febi-Bilstein.
