Trailing arms play an important role in vehicle handling and safety. It is the job of the trailing arm to keep the axles from moving too far forward or rearward. At both ends of your trailing arms are BMW 3 Series trailing arm bushings. These bushings allow for some flexibility to ensure smooth, vibration free suspension movement. Over time your BMW 3 Series trailing arm bushings fatigue and fail, which can cause a host of problems from simple rattles to dangerous handling characteristics. A simple and affordable fix is to replace your tired old pieces with a set of fresh BMW 3 Series trailing arm bushing s from our extensive lineup. With a full offering of bushings from all of the top brands, you can bring your ride back up to spec without spending a fortune.

A trailing arm failure is no laughing matter. If a bushing fails at freeway speed the axle can move out of alignment and cause your vehicle to veer sharply off the road. One way to improve safety and performance is with the addition of urethane BMW 3 Series trailing arm bushings. Urethane is a superior material to rubber in that it has added strength and improved durability. With urethane bushings in place you will have safe and predictable handling for years to come. So if you are ready to replace your worn out trailing arm bushings we highly recommend stepping up to a set of urethane bushings.

Q: Why buy new bushings? What is the benefit?
A: Many advantages can be found over your stock bushings (especially if they're old!): Urethane bushings have a higher load-bearing capacity, greater tear strength, better compression set, greater abrasion resistance, and better tolerance to greases and oils. Polyurethane is an ideal material for performance suspension bushings, motor and transmission mounts. Additional horsepower, plus size tires, lifted truck suspension or lowered canyon carving street setups all mix with normal atmospheric conditions and undercar grit and grime to stress rubber bushings beyond design limits. Polyurethane bushings are firm enough to control movement and maintain alignment in sway bars, control arms, and other stressed suspension components without the harshness or resonance associated with solid metal suspension bushings.
