Powerflex BMW E46 M3 Front Wishbone Rear Bushes - Aluminium Low-Friction Pair
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
Description
Pair of Powerflex aluminium-outer front wishbone rear bushes for BMW E46 M3, including CSL. Renew worn front lower-control-arm mounting bushes with the low-friction, anodised-aluminium design rather than using a basic rubber replacement. Powerflex positions the PFF5-5601M3 as a higher-performance alternative to PFF5-4601M3 for improved control of wishbone deflection under braking and cornering.
BMW E46 M3 compatibility
- BMW E46 M3 and M3 CSL with original thicker M3 front wishbones.
- Original mounting bush size: 60 mm.
- BMW OE cross-references: 31122229857 and original brackets 31122229623 / 31122229624.
- Not for standard non-M3 E46 wishbones. For those applications, see our E46 chassis parts.
Choose road or track compound
- PFF5-5601M3: low-friction Road Series poly/aluminium construction for responsive fast-road and dual-purpose use.
- PFF5-5601M3BLK: Black Series for drivers prioritising maximum precision over isolation, with greater potential noise and vibration.
Supplied as a pair (2 bushes) covering both front wishbone rear positions. Prices correspond to the complete axle pair, not one single bush. Existing original brackets are reused and must be checked for damage and suitability. A wheel alignment is recommended after installation.
Common symptoms and related upgrades
Excessive fore-aft movement of ageing front wishbone bushes may contribute to vague steering, wandering under braking and inconsistent front-wheel geometry. Inspect the complete front suspension, ball joints and tyres before assuming the bushes are responsible. For further geometry control consider Millway Motorsport camber plates and arms, or see our E46 track day preparation collection.
Frequently asked questions
Will these add caster? No intentional offset is specified for this centred version. If you need extra caster, use the separate PFF5-5601GM3 eccentric bush range.
Are they suitable for a standard E46 330Ci? No. Use the E46 non-M3 bush and bracket options instead.
Are the original brackets included? No. This kit replaces the bushes within the compatible original M3 wishbone brackets.
