Whiteline Sway Bar Bushing 22.5mm – 1992-1998 BMW 3 Series Models
Correct Mount Bushings for the E36 BMW Sway Bar
The Whiteline 22.5mm sway bar bushing is the correct replacement for E36 BMW 3 Series front sway bar mount bushings. Whiteline’s polyurethane compound is significantly firmer than the original rubber, eliminating axial bar movement in the mounts and ensuring the sway bar delivers its full designed anti-roll resistance. The knurled inner bore holds grease against the bar for long-term quiet operation.

E36 3 Series — A Platform That Rewards Precision Parts
The E36 is one of the most respected driver’s cars of its era and remains a popular platform for everything from weekend drivers to dedicated track cars. The suspension design is fundamentally excellent — it responds directly to quality bushing and bar upgrades. Keeping the sway bar properly located in firm polyurethane mounts is a basic element of maintaining the E36’s handling precision.
The Correct Diameter for E36
Sway bar bushings must match the bar diameter precisely. An undersized bushing strains the material and splits. An oversized one allows the bar to move in the mount. Whiteline’s 22.5mm spec is the correct match for the E36 factory front bar. If you’re running an aftermarket bar with a different diameter, select the Whiteline bushing that matches your bar spec.
Knurled Bore — Long Term Performance
The texture inside the bore holds grease in place against the bar surface. This prevents metal-on-polyurethane dry contact and the squeak that results. Apply fresh grease at installation and the bushing will stay quiet indefinitely.
Why Choose Whiteline
Whiteline has been engineering suspension components from their facility in Australia since 1979. Every product in their catalog is developed with a clear goal: measurable improvement in handling, stability, and tyre contact. Whiteline’s polyurethane bushings, sway bars, control arms, and alignment correction kits are engineered using finite element analysis and validated on track before they reach the market. Their components are direct-fit, bolt-on solutions designed for enthusiasts who want real performance gains without fabrication or custom work.
The RallySport Take
The right bushing for the E36 front sway bar. Simple, correct, and built to Whiteline’s quality standard. Installation is a straightforward bar swap — remove the OEM bar, install the Whiteline unit with the provided polyurethane mount bushings, connect the endlinks. Start in the middle adjustment position and move from there. Adjustable endlinks are a worthwhile companion purchase if the car has been lowered, ensuring the bar operates at zero preload at the new ride height.
