- PFF5-5601 - A high performance option to PFF5-4601, and aimed at offering greater precision for people wanting the very best from their E46 or Z4. This new part, fitted to the rear of the front wishbone has a hard anodised aluminium outer shell with one of our unique low friction polyurethane centre bushes. The poly/alu combination creates a low friction rotating bush reducing the forces acting on the arm.

Results are less movement in the arm under cornering and braking, improving steering control and feel. This bush is designed to fit the 66mm aluminium bush. Please ensure you have the correct size bush before fitting. OEM Part Number: 31126757622 / 31126777849 / 31126783375 OEM Part Number: 31126757623 / 31126777850 / 31126783376

- PFF5K-4601 - Front Wishbone Rear Bush & Bracket fits BMW E46 and Z4, excluding M3, and uses our PFF5-4601 bush, covering both 60 and 66mm size options. No more guessing or measuring required! A lasting, better-performing polyurethane bush alternative, like Powerflex, has always been a popular upgrade for owners but whilst our bushes are very easy to fit, sometimes removing the original bushes from the OE housing brackets can be difficult, especially for those with limited access to pressing or pulling tools. Pre-installed in quality supplied brackets, they simply require fitting onto the arm and bolting into position saving both time and money.
