Product Information

Suspension stabilizer bars are also known as Anti-sway bars. They intend to improve handling by reducing the car’s body roll from side to side. The stabilizer bar bushing is a physical insulator at the point of attachment to the car’s frame. Most bushings are made of rubber, but some people prefer bushings made of stiffer Urethane believing the car will handle even better (although the ride is stiffer).

• Unusual noises: Clunking, squeaking, or groaning noises, especially when driving over bumps or turning
• Body roll: The vehicle leans more than it should when turning
• Steering problems: The car pulls to one side, or the steering wheel feels loose or unresponsive
• Uneven tire wear: The tires wear down unevenly

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
