Powerflex PFR5-4618 Polybush Rear Lower Control Arm Outer Bushes for BMW 3 Series E46 1998-2006 (incl Touring) – Rear Wishbone/Hub Carrier Bushing Set Pair – Polyurethane Suspension Upgrade – OE 33326771828

Powerflex PFR5-4618 Polybush Set - Rear Wishbone Outer - BMW E46 3 Series inc Touring 1998-2006 - OE Ref 33326771828

Give your E46 a proper chassis refresh with this uprated rear outer wishbone bushing kit from Powerflex. The PFR5-4618 replaces the tired rubber mounts at the outer end of the lower rear arm, tightening up the back axle for a more planted, confidence-inspiring drive. Expect cleaner turn-in, better traction on uneven surfaces and more stable braking as the suspension geometry stays where it should.

We run these bushes on our own cars and have fitted them for countless MJ Modifications customers. The verdict is the same every time - more precise rear-end behaviour, reduced squirm under load and improved tyre wear consistency. It is a straightforward performance upgrade that transforms an ageing E46 without making it harsh.

Key benefits

• Locks down rear axle alignment for predictable handling and sharper steering response

• Durable polyurethane compound that stands up to heat, oil, road salt and abrasion
