Rogue Engineering has
spent hundreds of hours in order to bring you the best and most durable
performance Front Control Arm Bushings (FCAB) you can find.
Rogue decided to make these FCAB's out of a unique combination of CNC'd
6061-T6 aluminum and high performance urethane. No other
manufacturer has been able to create a FCAB that can keep up with a
track junkie yet with an increase in Noise, Vibration, and Harshness
(NVH) until now. Rogue has pioneered a completely new type of
bushing that will change the industry forever.

***NOTE:
If your E46 NON M was made in 2001 or earlier you require a 60mm bushing
Rogue Engineering Performance FCABs
With the numerous delrin/urethane/hybrid
replacement bushings in the market, Rogue Engineering vows to make
something that was not only effective, but simple. No clips, no
washers, no multiple sleeves, no "race parts in street cars".
Some of
the feature benefits of Rogue Engineering Performance FCABs include:
- Serviceable/rebuildable (replacement
of bushing insert)
- Urethane insert prevents unwanted
control arm deflection while allowing NVH isolation
- Eliminates steering shimmy and
wander, especially with the addition of big brake upgrades
- Unchanged steering geometry
- Direct "connected" feeing with front
end of vehicle
- Easy to install (professional
installation recommended)

Rogue Engineering Performance FCABs
Installation Notes
-
Access to the underside
of the vehicle is required and professional installation is
recommended.]
-
The RE Performance FCABs
reuse the factory "lollipops", as the aluminum sleeve of the FCAB is
pressed into place (hydraulic press is required for removal of stock
bushing and installation of RE FCABs).
-
Non-E46 M3s had both
66mm and 60mm ID housings. Most standard E46 vehicles produced
before 2/01 used 60mm ID housings.

Am I
in need of new FCAB's?
Factory bushings are more
than adequate for street driving. However, when the miles start to pile
up, the bushings are meant to be replaced. Common side effects of worn
factory FCABs include, but are not limited to the following:
- Steering wheel shutter when brakes
are applied
- Wheel (and steering wheel) shimmy
- Mysterious and irregular tire wear
- "Overboosted" steering feel (very
light steering)
Replacing factory bushings, with new
factory bushings will return the factory feel. However, Rogue
Engineering offers something that gives you MORE.

In Rogue Engineering
development, Rogue Engineering was able to limit the amount of bushing
deflection while also controlling the amount of NVH being transmitted
through the bushing itself by the durometer of the urethane insert.
Rogue Engineering discovered that increasing the durometer stiffness (to
nearly the harness of plastic or Delrin), Rogue Engineering was able to
limit the movement of the bushing so that it didn't move at all.
However, Rogue Engineering got too much NVH to be used in a street
driven car. When Rogue Engineering reduced the durometer too much,
Rogue Engineering had a very comfortable bushing, with stock-like
performance. Of course, with Rogue Engineering goals, Rogue Engineering
was looking for performance one could live with everyday.

E30/E36
Versions
The E30/E36 version is
available in "centered" and "offset" versions. The offset versions were
used on 1995 E36 M3s, and offered slightly more caster in the suspension
geometry. Using offset version bushings in vehicles not designed for
them require an alignment.
