Powerflex Bushes

[JamJay]

Hi Damian, how do you rate the Powerflex front wishbone, rear bushes on the LCR? Mine are on their way out so need replacing but I wonder what benefits these will bring? Alternately, will they negatively affect the car in any way, I know Powerflex bushes are renound for being really hard.

Also, what are the differences between these two?

Morning,

Personally I rate them and find them a good addition. Yes they are stiffer but they last longer and do tighten up the feel of the car.

Pressed Arm and cast arm, basically earlier and later model differences.

Ahhh right I see. I think the LCR has cast arms but I will research this. Are Powerflex bushes still on back order?

The waiting time is down to around 1-2 weeks at the moment so not too bad.

That's fine, will be about then that I will get around to doing the work.

Let me do some research and get back to you :)

Thanks.
