Description
Powerflex Rear Sway Bar Bushings for BMW M3 (E9X) / BMW 1M (E82).
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 M3 (E9X) / BMW 1M (E82).
Select the bar specification
Measure the installed sway bar at the bushing contact area and match the option to that measurement. An aftermarket bar may differ from the original size. Any equipment restriction shown with an option also applies to that selection.
Choose your series
- Street: the road-oriented series; compound selection depends on the individual application.
- Black Series: the firmer series generally intended to prioritize movement control. Product-specific fitment and intended-use restrictions still apply.
