UUC also offers a full range of bushings for many other BMW models:


In addition to an improved suspension, upgraded chassis bushings are the key to "buttoning down" a car's chassis.

As original equipment bushings are usually designed with isolation, comfort, and cost in mind, they are not the best choice for performance driving.  As they are relatively soft, they allow excessive movement and in the various systems of the car, which is detrimental to handling and control.

Various upgrades are available depending on the chassis and it's specific needs.  Please review each part to determine if it is appropriate for your performance goals.

Important note about "street" versus "race" components.  UUC offers some components that are suitable for street cars, still providing reasonable comfort and vibration isolation.  Some parts are labeled as race parts, and are not recommended for the typical street-driven car.  However, many parts fall somewhere in between, sacrificing some comfort for performance but still within a range that is quite acceptable for most performance drivers.  Each part in our catalog will have a description about it's specific intended use.


Engine mounts
: urethane design with cast-in steel mounting points provide strong and flex-free support of the engine and help resist engine movement within the chassis caused by torque application. Urethane design has practically the same level of control as solid “race only” aluminum mounts, but provide vibration absorption similar to OE rubber. Designed for racecars, suitrable for high performance street cars. Many users report no perceived increase of in-cabin vibration, but some amount may be present. LIFETIME WARRANTY with this product.

Front control arm bushings
use a seperate center section built into a high-durometer bushing material. The net result is racecar functionality with near-OE levels of vibration and noise damping. The OE design of the FCAB is a simple rubber bushing. The part itself is subjected to torsional forces (twisting), lateral forces (side to side), and longitudinal forces (in and out). While this basic rubber design results in a quiet and comfortable ride, it also wears out quickly and has negative effects on performance/enthusiast driving. Specifically, the indicators of worn FCABs are steering wheel shimmy, looseness in the front end, irregular tire wear, sloppy steering response, and suspension geometry changes while cornering. UUC's all-new design incorporates many unique features designed to permanently address these problems while giving the functionality of a race-spec component that also maintains normal street car comfort and vibration absorption. Strengthened inner section accommodates all torsional forces without affecting outer bushing material. Bushing material absorbs noise and vibration.

Transmission mounts
with optional Enforcer cups: provide same type of support and control for the transmission as engine mounts do for the engine.

Suitable for these applications:

    * All E34 M5, 540i, 535i, 530i, 525i
    * All E39 M5, 540i, 530i, 528i
    * All E36 M3, 328, 325, 323, 318
    * All E46 M3, 328, 325, 323 including automatic/steptronic transmission
    * All E90 330, 325 (NOT for M3)
    * 6-cylinder Z3s
    * All Z4

Three different types available:
Transmission mount option 1 - street cars and street cars that see track use:
Black rubber transmission mount bushings offer excellent drivetrain motion control. Available with or without transmission mount enforcer cups (combination of bushings and enforcer cups strongly recommended for 6-cylinder applications). Recommended for daily driver cars, and cars that see light track use.
Transmission mount option 2 - street cars that see heavy track use, dedicated track cars:
Blue urethane isolated transmission mount bushings which are fully isolated, having two separate mounting bolt hardware pieces embedded in the material just like the black rubber and OE BMW bushings. The urethane is a higher durometer (stiffer) material than the neoprene and offers nearly the same drivetrain motion control as a solid delrin or aluminum mount, but with significant vibration isolation. That last detail makes it a better choice for a track car that is occasionally street-driven, where cabin noise is a concern. While UUC does expect some vibration transmitted into the cabin, initial user reports say that it is minimal and certainly acceptable. Transmission mount enforcer cups can also be used for added effect.
Transmission mount option 3 - dedicated track, road race, and drag race cars only:
Red urethane bolt-through transmission mount bushings are the strongest choice. A single bolt through the entire piece eliminates any possibility of bushing material failure even under the most abusive conditions. Offers effectively the same drivetrain motion control as a solid delrin or aluminum mount, but with some vibration isolation to reduce vibratory stress on mechanical components. Cabin vibration significantly lower than delrin or aluminum solid mounts, but still noticeable.
Transmission mount enforcer cups not required but can be used for added effect.


Rear Subframe Mounts
virtually eliminate flex and bushing separation from subframe torque forces (especially with high-powered cars). Urethane design assures longevity exceeding OE. Suitable for racing or performance street applications.

Available for
E36 1992-1999 M3, 328, 325, 323, 318 (not 318ti)
E30 M3, 325
COMING SOON for E46

Rear Trailing Arm Bushings
: made from aerospace grade urethane and replace the original rubber bushings in the rear trailing arm. Eliminates "bump steer" effect caused by original rubber bushings and results in better rear suspension control, which improves cornering speeds and power delivery. Suitable for street and race use, long-term tested successfully in both environments.

Fits:
E36 1992-1999 M3, 328, 325, 323
E46 1999-2006 M3, 330, 328, 325, 323 (not for Xi)

Clutch Arm Bushin
gs and Brake Arm Bushings: replace OE clutch pedal bushings that are sloppy, squeaky, and cause clutch or brake pedal to slip to the side. Made of UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight polycetal), these bushings permanently get rid of those issues. The great advantage of UHMW over other materials is the superior long-term wear characteristics and self-lubricating properties.

Fits all 2005-1982 3-series (E46, E36, E30), all 2006-1989 5-series (E60, E39, E34), all Z3, Z4


Camber/caster adjustment plates
engineered utilizing a unique, multi-adjustable design, these adjustable camber plates are an ideal solution.
  • Works with any BMW-compatible front strut or coilover setup designed for original strut mount.
  • Replaces original upper strut mount.
  • Does not change front ride height.
  • Crafted from aircraft quality aluminum, these precision machined adjusters feature OE style bearings and a bonded urethane insulator.
  • The OE style bearing provides proper rotational compliance for the strut shaft and will not loosen or rattle like spherical-bearing designs.
  • 100% urethane isolation prevents noise or vibration transmitted to car's interior unlike solid metal plates.
  • Designed for both performance and racing applications.
  • For original height vehicles or lowered up to 3".
Front Camber/Caster Adjustment Range:

Camber: -2.0º to +2.0º
Caster: -.75º to +.75º

2002-2006+ Z4 2.5, 3.0
1982-1988 E28 M5, 535, 528


Differential mount bushings (pair): replacement urethane design provides solid mounting of differential, especially important in high-power modified cars and cars that see track or race use.

The OE design of the differential bushings is a simple rubber bushing.  The part itself is subjected to torsional forces (twisting), lateral forces (side to side), and longitudinal forces (in and out).  While this basic rubber design results in a quiet and comfortable ride, it also wears out quickly and has negative effects on performance/enthusiast driving.   Specifically, the indicators of worn differential mounts are misalignment of the differential and halfshafts under acceleration and changes in rear toe and camber that can result.

UUC's all-new design incorporates a premium quality urethane and steel liner tube for years of trouble-free usage.  Will not add vibration to the driving experience. Bushing material absorbs noise and vibration.

Fits all 1999-2005 330, 328, 325, 323, 318 (except xi)
  • Urethane suitable for race or street use.
  • Eliminate differential movement or squirm under hard acceleration.
  • Improve power delivery.
  • Retains proper halfshaft geometry.
  • Direct replacement for OE bushings.
  • Limited Lifetime Warranty
