Description
Powerflex Rear Sway Bar Bushings (18 mm) for BMW E24 / BMW E28 / BMW E32 / BMW E34 / BMW 3 Series (E36) / BMW 3 Series (E46) / Z3 / Z4.
Function and design
The sway bar transfers load between the suspension on opposite sides of the vehicle. Its bushings locate the bar or its links while accommodating the movement required by that mounting arrangement.
What to consider
Reducing unwanted movement at the mounting point helps the bar act through its intended connections. Mounting bushings, end-link bushings and lateral support clamps perform different jobs and should be matched to the location being serviced.
Application
BMW E24 / BMW E28 / BMW E32 / BMW E34 / BMW 3 Series (E36) / BMW 3 Series (E46) / Z3 / Z4.
