BMW E30 / 318Ti Rear Sway Bar Bushing - 12 Mm

Product Details

For professional race teams, vintage competitors, and exacting restorers operating the BMW E30 or E36/5 (318ti) chassis, maintaining the precise balance between mechanical grip and chassis compliance is critical. The Powerflex Heritage Series Rear Sway Bar Bushing is engineered to deliver modern polyurethane performance characteristics while strictly adhering to the aesthetic and structural requirements of classic and historic motorsport categories.

Manufactured in a dark grey finish to replicate the appearance of an original rubber component, the Heritage Series utilizes advanced polyurethane compounding to eliminate the deflection, binding, and premature failure common to vintage rubber bushings.

Engineered Advantages:

• High-Efficiency Anti-Roll Control: Minimizes dynamic deflection at the rear sway bar mounting points. This ensures immediate stabilizer bar engagement during lateral load transfer, stabilizing the rear roll center and improving mid-corner rotation.

• Progressive Deflection Characteristics: Formulated specifically for classic chassis dynamics, the Heritage compound offers an optimized durometer that prevents the harsh binding or sudden breakaway characteristics associated with rigid metallic sphericals or overly stiff track compounds.

• Reduced Friction Profile: Features engineered internal knurling and grease retention channels. This configuration retains specialized lubricant to minimize stiction and ensure smooth, predictable rotational sweep of the anti-roll bar throughout the suspension stroke.

• Longevity Under Thermal Load: Highly resistant to environmental degradation, oil contamination, and exhaust heat radiation—factors that rapidly compromise standard rubber components under race conditions.

Fitment Note: We recommend measuring your rear factory or aftermarket sway bar to determine which size of bushings are required for your vehicle. Sway bar sizes can differ depending on factory suspension packages and aftermarket sway bar brands.
