Rear axle carrier insert kit - polyurethane upgrade for BMW E46 Xi and XD all wheel drive

Stop sloppy rear-end movement and tighten up your E46 with this polyurethane rear axle carrier insert set from Powerflex. By filling the voids in the factory rubber mounts, these inserts keep the rear cradle located under load - giving you crisper turn-in, flatter cornering and more consistent traction on British roads and track days without the harshness of solid mounts.

Part number: PFR5-4613

Diagram reference: 11

Pack size: 2 inserts

Why this upgrade works

  • Controls rear cradle movement for sharper, more predictable handling
  • Improves stability under braking and reduces wheel hop on acceleration
  • Helps maintain suspension geometry for better tyre contact and wear
  • Durable PU compound resists oil, salt and grime far better than ageing rubber
  • Fast road friendly - excellent performance with everyday comfort
  • Backed by the Powerflex lifetime warranty for long term peace of mind

What you get

Two polyurethane insert pieces designed to press into the voids of the original rear axle carrier mounts on the E46 all wheel drive platform. No need to burn out or replace the full OEM bushes - a smart, time-saving performance solution.

Compatibility

Designed for BMW 3 Series E46 Xi and XD all wheel drive models. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a chassis upgrade for fast road, track day and spirited driving while retaining OEM-like noise and vibration control.

Real world feedback

We have fitted these inserts on customer E46 AWD builds and the transformation is immediate - a tighter rear end, cleaner power delivery out of bends and far more confidence over bumpy B-roads. Our customers consistently report improved feel without unwanted harshness.

Installation

As an insert kit, these fit into the cavities of the existing OE mounts. Professional installation and a post-fit alignment are recommended for best results. For fitting, choose MJ Modifications in Warwickshire - request a quote at info@mjmodifications.co.uk.
