Detailed Description

This Dorman 540-226 suspension stabilizer bar bushing kit is made for front sway bar service on select BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, and Z4 models. It restores the stabilizer bar’s mounting interface with OE-style dimensions and rubber-based material construction, helping maintain consistent bar location and suspension response. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 101-7626 and Delphi TD1136W for the same application.

The Dorman 540-226 is a direct-fit style replacement for vehicles that use a 26 mm front stabilizer bar bushing.

What It Helps Address

• Front suspension clunking or rattling from worn sway bar bushings
• Excess stabilizer bar movement at the mounting point
• Loose or degraded rubber bushing material
• Reduced steering feel caused by worn front bar support
• Noise during cornering or over uneven pavement

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the stabilizer bar and mounting area before installation. Confirm the bar diameter is 26 mm and verify the vehicle application by year, model, and front position before ordering. Because brackets are not included, reuse or replace the existing mounting hardware as needed based on condition.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs this part as a precision-engineered replacement and subjects it to testing for reliable OE-style fit and function on the listed BMW applications.
