Differential bushings are responsible for keeping the differential in solid alignment while dampening drivetrain vibration. While OE rubber bushings are fine when they are new from the factory, aged and worn out rubber bushings create a multitude of issues that can range from annoying to dangerous. As a factory bushing ages, it begins to harden and become brittle. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow for movement at the differential mounting point. At this point, the differential is free to shift under load causing a noticeable clunking noise under acceleration and deceleration and massively increasing the stress on the driveshaft and axles. Manual transmissions suffer the worst from this as it can make shifting difficult since the differential will shift when the clutch is engaged and disengaged.
By replacing these bushings with full polyurethane, the movement is eliminated since the mounting point is supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. This means less stress on the driveshaft and axles and greater longevity of supporting components.
Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane differential 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 acceleration response, more direct shifting feel and overall improved drivetrain composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane 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.
Upgrade the shifting precision and feel of your BMW with Turner Motorsport Powerflex Shifter Carrier Street Bushings - Oval. Made of 90A urethane, these bushings replace the stock rubber ones to prevent sloppy shifting. The stiff urethane reduces play without adding vibration. Easy to install when the carrier is out of the car, these bushings ensure improved performance. Here are the key benefits:
BMW E36 E46 Powerflex Clutch Fork Pivot Pin - Street offers enhanced performance and reliability for BMW enthusiasts. Engineered by Powerflex, this clutch fork pivot pin is designed to improve the feel and response of the clutch system, providing a more direct and consistent engagement.
Installation Note: Designed for street use and compatible with standard clutch systems.
The Powerflex Rear Diff Bushing for BMW Z3, E30 3 Series, and 318Ti is a high-performance replacement for the factory rubber bushings in the rear differential. This upgrade is ideal for improving handling, power delivery, and drivetrain stability, especially on aging vehicles where the original bushings may have deteriorated.
Polyurethane Construction: Unlike the OEM rubber bushings, Powerflex bushings are made from durable polyurethane, which resists wear from exposure to heat, oil, and road debris. This increases the longevity of the bushing and ensures consistent performance over time.
Handling Improvements: The stiffer polyurethane material significantly reduces the flex and movement of the differential during acceleration, braking, and cornering. This helps improve the overall stability and precision of the vehicle’s rear-end, enhancing cornering performance and delivering better power transfer to the wheels.
Versions for Different Needs:
Direct Fitment: These bushings are designed as direct replacements for the stock bushings, making installation relatively straightforward. This is especially useful for older models like the E30 and Z3, where original bushings may have degraded or cracked, causing clunking noises and excessive differential movement.
Performance Gains: With reduced differential movement, drivers can expect sharper throttle response, improved traction under load, and better cornering dynamics, making it a perfect upgrade for those who want to refresh and enhance the performance of their BMW's rear suspension.
This Powerflex rear diff bushing upgrade is ideal for anyone looking to improve the handling characteristics of their BMW while adding durability and reliability to the drivetrain setup.
