Powerflex Bushes?

[BeckieLeigh]

i was wondering on peoples opinions of powerflex for bushes? im needing to replace mine but at a decent cost and found some powerflex ones, so just wondering if you peeps rate them or not?

[vrsadz]

people on here rate these and say they firm up the grip sepecially if lowering springs are fitted

cool may just buy them now then just had wheels realigned and it still shoots of to the left lol guy said the poly bushes should help x

[vrsadz]

yeah could help if all adjusted properly etc. if not you could have a sticking or siezed front caliper etc or tyre pressures lower than the correct  pressure

imho Powerflex are a poor imitation of SuperPro

One of my vehicles is has superpro bushes throughout, another Powerflex throughout

SuperPro bushes manage to be just as firm, if not a little firmer but with being as harsh as a Powerflex bush

yeah the rear calipers are a known facts for seizing up, tbh on my old vrs i did not have a problem

I've had nothing but problems lol but that's why I love her. Bit like my rover mini, that car had blood, sweat and tears outta me literally and I cried like a baby when I had to sell her :( she even had an electric vinyl roof

If you do get new bushes fitted, you will have to have alignment checked yet again.

 

I've just had my front bushes (Console and ARB) changed due to wear. I had a standard rubber one only last 2 years! Strangely I also had a rear calliper sticking too.
