Front Wishbone Rear Bushes, Aluminium Outer
bmw E46 3 Series 99-06,
Fitment Notes
PFF5-5601-60 is a high performance option to PFF5-4601-60, and aimed at offering greater precision for people wanting the very best from their E46 or Z4. This new part, fitted to the rear of the front wishbone has a hard anodised aluminium outer shell with one of our unique low friction polyurethane centre bushes. The poly/alu combination creates a low friction rotating bush reducing the forces acting on the arm. Lower arm deflection has been decreased by reducing the compliant material within the aluminium shell. Results are less movement in the arm under cornering and braking, improving steering control and feel. PFF5-5601-60 is for the earlier models with 60mm bore mounting bracket. Please ensure you have the correct size bush before fitting.
Powerflex Polyurethane Bushes
Bushes are one of the most highly stressed components fitted to a car. They undergo enormous strain, in the most arduous of conditions with no maintenance or lubrication. Conventional rubber bushes deteriorate with age allowing movement of suspension components and geometry. This can cause tyre wear, braking instability, poor handling and engine deflection.
Powerflex Suspension Bushes:- Improve your car's road holding and chassis performance
- Allow your suspension to function efficiently
- Tyres have increased road contact at all times
- Improved safety and performance
- Have the same noise absorption as rubber bushes
- Normally no increase in vibration / harshness through the car
Powerflex Bushes are made from a technologically advanced polyurethane plastic compound impervious to petrol and vehicle oil, which doesn't age or perish and has a longer working life - up to 3-4 times that of conventional rubber bushes. In addition this compound overcomes the common problem associated with harder bushes which is increased noise. By correct engineering the polyurethane compound bushes can be made 25-30% stiffer than rubber bushes, but with exactly the same noise absorption properties. Unlike old technology Poly bushes any increase in vibration / harshness felt through the vehicle is normally undetectable.
