I already have the cupra bushes to fit but what are the best front wish bone bushes to use? i seem to remember that one of the superpro or powerflex wore the hole in the subframe bigger?

 

what have you guys found best?

I have the powerflex fronts fitted, no problems at all, they don't do much though, all the load is on the rear bushes. With hindsight I needn't have bothered changing them.

It only wears the hole if the bolts are not done up properly as it happened to me...........I think you were reading my post & info...........get the Superpro ones as I think it is less likely to happen.............

There's cheap ones on ebay by psb think they are listed for an ibiza or polo but will fit the fabia

ok thanks for the help

I have the PSB bushes in mine, there great for the price and slide in without havin to force them in i put them in by hand

Go superpro. By far the best bushes on the market, and you should not just be able to slide the bushes in by hand. That sounds too loose

Got psb bushes in mine, didn't push in by hand tho mine were quite tight, ended up pulling em in with a bolt and a 2 flat plates, been fine since, got some squeak when first fitted em but jacked the car back up and sprayed em with ptfe grease and that stopped that seem worth it for the money

only thing I don't like sometimes is the noise when going round corners hard, all the time sounds like I've got a flat

I've used those PSB bushes to get a car through an MOT because they're so quick and easy to fit but they're not really tight enough and I certainly wouldn't use them on my own car.

A bush that slides in by hand doesn't fit.

May aswell drill a 5mm hole with a 8mm drill bit.

The PSB ones are fine and do the job. They are designed to slide in fairly easily but they are still a good snug fit. The centre yellow part of them rotates separately from the outer part. I found they transmitted a bit too much road noise though. Might not bother some people but it got on my nerves after a while.

I didnt actually mean it slid straight in i worded it wrong lol i should of said i put them in with no tools they just needed a bit of a push to put in and there a good tight fit as they wouldnt move when they was in. Theyve been on the car for the last 3000 miles and have been great
