Description
This is the industry's FIRST and ONLY offset rear trailing arm bushing set for your E36 or E46. Includes both Left and right. These rear trailing arm bushings come in Delrin and include new aluminum races, along with a lifetime warranty! When you severely lower your E36 or E46, the rear suspension by design ends up having tons of toe-in. To compensate for that, these rear trailing arm bushings are offset to push out the control arm dialing out some toe-out. How much is dialed out actually depends on how lowered the vehicle is.
Depending upon the orientation of these offset bushings, they have the ability to either take toe out or add toe! To add toe out, you want to orient the bushings so that the thin side is facing the side skirt, while the thick side is facing the differential. Conversely, to take toe out, you want the thick side facing the side skirt and the thin side facing the differential!
The factory BMW RTABs (Rear Trailing Arm Bushings) are meant for a very soft, quiet, and comfortable ride. However, you bought the "ultimate driving machine" for a reason. Not only do Delrin RTAB bushings improve cornering speeds and power delivery, but they also last longer than OEM units! That stands true for street and race use. These bushings have been long-term successfully in both environments!
If your E36 or E46 feels "loose" when going around corners, your stock bushings are the likely culprit. When the RTABs are gone, the rear toe (the angle that the tire points in or out) will vary under load and cause this "loose" feeling. Factory mounts require replacement in less than 50,000 miles or 3 years. If you track your car, then they will need replacement even sooner!
Delrin is best for race applications only.
