BMW E36 E46 Rear Trailing Arm Bushings Steel

The BMW E36 / E46 Rear Trailing Arm Bushings TRAB are designed to reduce unwanted movement in the rear suspension by replacing compatible factory rubber bushings with rigid press-fit sleeves.

Developed for drifting, racing and motorsport applications, these sleeves provide a more rigid connection at the suspension mounting points, helping maintain consistent rear suspension geometry under load.

By reducing the flexibility associated with conventional rubber bushings, the upgrade can improve rear suspension response and provide more predictable handling during aggressive driving.

The sleeves are designed to be pressed into the original bushing locations, replacing the existing rubber components.

Supplied as a set of two sleeves.

Key Features:

- Rigid Rear Suspension Connection – Reduces movement associated with conventional rubber bushings.

- Press-Fit Installation – Designed to replace compatible original rubber bushings.

- Improved Suspension Response – Helps maintain more consistent rear suspension geometry under load.

- Reduced Bushing Deflection – Limits unwanted compliance at the reinforced mounting points.

- Motorsport Applications – Designed for drifting, racing and performance suspension builds.

- Direct Suspension Feedback – Provides a firmer connection than factory rubber bushings.

- Two-Piece Set – Includes two replacement sleeves.

Installation Information:

The original rubber bushings must be removed before fitting the replacement sleeves.

The new sleeves are designed to be pressed into the appropriate mounting locations using suitable workshop equipment.

Before installation, inspect the mounting points for wear, cracks, corrosion or deformation.

Ensure the sleeves are correctly aligned and fully seated according to the manufacturer's installation requirements.

Important: Rigid suspension bushings can increase noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) compared with factory rubber components. They may also transmit greater loads into adjacent suspension and chassis mounting points.

Professional installation is recommended. Check rear suspension geometry and carry out wheel alignment where required after installation.
