Powerflex Poly Bushes Pack - Front Wishbone Rear Bush, Caster Offset - PFF5-5601G-60 - BMW E46 3 Series Compact
Upgrade your BMW E46 3 Series Compact front suspension with the Powerflex PFF5-5601G-60 caster offset front wishbone rear bushes. This precision polyurethane and aluminium bush kit is engineered to sharpen steering response, improve braking stability, and increase front-end grip by delivering a controlled, low-friction rotation and an extra +0.5 degree of caster for superior turn-in and mid-corner stability.
We have fitted and used these bushes on our own cars and for customers, and the feedback is consistently outstanding. Expect tighter, more predictable handling, less wandering under braking, and a more connected steering feel on fast road and track day setups.
