M3_Power 636 Report post Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Vorshlag Style Rear Trailing Arm bush limiter kit for the E46 and E36 (both M and non M) Made of UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) and CNC'd from genuine Vorshlag limiter kit to exact specification. $95 per set (cheaper than trying to import these on your own from Vorshlag) Prolong the life of your rear trailing arm bushes and bring back that sharpness in your E36 and E46 rear end. Can provide RTAB also and fitting services by qualified BMW techs. PM for more info. http://www.vorshlag.com/product_info.php?c...;products_id=59 This is how much your RTAB moves without a limiter: Edited March 7, 2011 by M3_Power Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted March 7, 2011 Ooo tempting. I replaced my RTAB recently and was surprised at the rather large gaps left between the bush and the housing. Seems to promote a fair bit of play... How many sets do you have? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All love the product and rate it highly. Edited March 7, 2011 by M3_Power Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thorburn 121 Report post Posted March 26, 2011 What are the benefits of using UHMWPE over acetal? i'm guessing in this case it might have something to do with the lubricating properties? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3_Power 636 Report post Posted March 26, 2011 (edited) What are the benefits of using UHMWPE over acetal? i'm guessing in this case it might have something to do with the lubricating properties? UHMW has one of the highest impact strengths of any thermoplastic and has excellent abrasion resistance, tensile strength, energy absorption, resistance to stress, cracking, and coefficient of friction properties. UHMW coefficient of friction is significantly better than nylon and acetal and is virtually the same as Teflon® but has superior abrasion resistance. Also it doesn't absorb moisture like Delrin/Acetal does. Delrin is easier to machine compared to UHMWPE which is the reason why it is often used - but for this application UHMWPE is best, but lot harder to machine (you lose about 35% of the material).

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 I bought some of these from Tom, I can say they are a must in any E36 or E46. Vorshlag make some really excellent products. Well worth the money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M3_Power 636 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 Cheers Mike!! Many happy owners so far with these (with most of the kits ending up in racecars!!) Grab them before they disappear again!
