What Are Common Signs That My BMW 135i Sway Bar Bushing Needs Replacement?
You’ll usually hear clunks or rattles coming from the suspension, sometimes more from the front, sometimes the rear. Noises often show up most when you go over rough pavement or make quick, tight turns. Some drivers notice extra body roll around corners, or the car just feels less “tight” than before. That looser feel in steering can make it harder to keep the car settled when changing direction. Tire wear that doesn’t match between sides might hint at the same issue. Most of the time, the sound tips you off first, and a close look can confirm it: cracked, flattened, or torn bushings won’t cushion much anymore.
How Difficult Is It To Replace A BMW 135i Sway Bar Bushing?
If you’ve done some wrenching before, swapping out the BMW 135i sway bar bushing isn’t the toughest job but it does need the right setup. You’ll have to lift the car and get both wheels off the ground, which means good jack stands or a lift. Sometimes, other suspension parts might block your path, and rusty bolts are common if the car’s seen winter roads. Those can slow you down. With steady hands, the right tools, and some patience, a careful DIY’er can handle it. Not up for a challenge or don’t have the gear? A trusted shop will knock it out fairly quickly and make sure everything’s back together the way it should be.
What Size Sway Bar Bushings Should I Use For My BMW 135i?
The bushing must fit your sway bar snugly. Most BMW 135i front sway bars measure close to 1 inch. Rears are usually a bit slimmer, but you’ll want to double check—BMW doesn’t always stick to one size. If you’ve put in aftermarket bars, get out the caliper and measure. A too-loose bushing leaves the bar rattling, and a tight one can bind. Knowing the exact diameter before ordering will save you the headache of returns and make sure the new bushings do their job from the start.
What Materials Are Available For BMW 135i Sway Bar Bushings And Which Should I Choose?
You’ll mostly see two choices: rubber or polyurethane. Rubber bushings feel smoother and block more noise—the classic choice for daily drivers. They don’t last nearly as long if you push the car hard, though. Polyurethane bushings last longer and keep the bar locked in place, so the car feels sharper and more direct. You will pick up a bit more road noise and feel, but for lots of BMW owners, the extra stability is worth it. If you like comfort, stick with rubber. If you want more cornering grip and a sportier feel, try polyurethane.
Will Upgrading To Aftermarket BMW 135i Sway Bar Bushings Improve Handling?
Upgrading your bushings brings a real, noticeable difference, especially if your originals are shot. A stiffer or higher-quality set stops excessive sway bar movement. This means the car stays flatter through turns and reacts faster to your steering. If you’re sensitive to changes, you’ll feel the car settle more quickly when weaving around or taking on-ramps. Polyurethane bushings might knock your ride comfort down a notch, though—it’s a fair trade for sharper handling. Most drivers who like a sportier feel rate this upgrade as money well spent, both on the street and at a track day.
