ALUMINUM BARREL BEARING REAR AXLE BEARING

ALUMINUM BARREL BEARING REAR AXLE BEARING

Our aluminum barrel bearings are one of the most sensible investments in driving dynamics that you can make on your BMW. The original, very soft rubber bearings on the rear axle are replaced by our CNC-milled solid aluminum bearings.

Advantages

Precision and Directness

  • Stiffness: Rigid bearings, such as all-aluminum bearings, are
    Significantly stiffer than rubber mounts. This means there is less
    There is flexibility and movement in the suspension, resulting in a
    more precise and direct control.
  • Steering accuracy: The rear axle remains in the intended position
    Alignment, making steering more accurate and predictable. This is
    particularly important when changing direction quickly and cornering.

Driving stability

  • Consistency: Rigid bearings provide more consistency
    performance because they do not give in under load. This contributes to one
    more stable and controllable vehicle dynamics, especially at high speeds
    speeds and under high lateral forces.
  • Tracking stability: The rear axle remains with rigid bearings
    better on track, which increases stability at high speeds and
    increased aggressive maneuvers.

Feedback and control

  • Road feedback: Rigid bearings transmit more feedback from the
    Street directly to the driver. This allows for a more precise assessment
    the road surface and traction, which is particularly important in motorsport
    is valuable where the driving experience is crucial for performance.
  • Traction management: Because the
    Rear axle is mounted more rigidly, the tires can be more constant and
    Grip more effectively, which improves traction and the vehicle
    makes more predictable.

Reduced wheel load fluctuations

  • Controlled movements: With staring
    bearings, uncontrolled movements of the rear axle are minimized,
    which reduces wheel load fluctuations. This leads to one
    better traction and more consistent tire grip.

Disadvantages and compromises

  • Comfort: Fixed storage
    transmit more vibrations and bumps directly into the vehicle, which means the
    Driving comfort reduced. This is acceptable for any passionate driver because
    performance and precision are more important than comfort.
  • Increased noise development: This can happen
    There is increased noise development because rigid bearings have less vibration
    dampen as rubber mounts. We drive the bearings ourselves in our daily drivers
    and can report from our own experience that the increase in noise
    is limited to a minimum and hardly noticeable.
