Front sway bar bushing part #? Dynamic Drive (active sway bar) retrofit ?

supraken · 05-03-2018, 08:49 PM

Two questions in one thread really lol.

Does anyone know what the part number is for the front sway bar bushing ? I look through many sites including OEM parts from BMW dealers, can't seem to find the front sway bar bushings (without Dynamic Drive) for some reason.

Second question is, has anyone retrofitted the active rear sway bars from the Dynamic Drive ? Is it worth it ?

I have a 2013 535 xDrive Msport with DDC. Car feels a bit loose to me, want to see if I can tighten up the suspension a bit. Planning to replace the thrust arms (for the bushing) that seem to be a common problem

I have the same car as yours. I went with M5 Front Sway Bar and 650XI Rear Sway bar. I noticed an improvement by just doing that.
Can't speak on retrofit you are asking but I bet it involved a lot of piping to get it in.

I still can't find the front bushing for sale by itself. Seems like it's always sold with the sway bar. Has noone ever replaced theirs ?
