Anyone Using Problem Solving wishbone bushes off Ebay?

[Shmoo]

As above. Are they worth buying? They are a fair bit cheaper than the other brands.

 

[Tessitura]

either buy polybush (powerflex) or something, or buy VAG.

 

[Shmoo]

Thanks for info. The quality didn't look different to the powerflex ones but that just on a photo but the cost may reflect this.

I can recommend the powerflex bushes. Fitted to mine they made a hell of a difference giving a more positive turn in and better feel (this is compared to failed rear bushes though).

 

[Tessitura]

Either go VAG or the powerflex ones seem popular, as an ''Upgrade'' its ok, personally i went VAG since the original ones last 120k.

Need rear bushes on my Cupra and can get front and rear flo-flex for cheaper than just rear power flex bushes. How do you rate them as I'm definitely thinking of getting these over power flex

Don't mean to be rude but flow flex are shite, Ive used them in cars before and they distort over time unlike other decent brands.

They are cheap for a reason. They are not as firm either due to the slots in the bush.

Go SuperPro, PowerFlex or OEM, Everything else is a waste

^This. When comes to mechanical and moving parts you buy cheap, buy twice, thrice and so on.

Fair enough. Do the audi tt bushes fit the Leon's as they are a solid bush arnt they? Are they that much better than the standard bushes? Any particular year TT?

 

[reflexuk]

So the answer is No. Nobody on here has fitted or can comment with any authority on the qualities of PSB bushes.
Shame... I fancy a go with them.

Psb

Here they are Problem Solving Bushes.

This is the dual hardness performance bush 147P. Also visible is the cheap (Lemforder iirc) Audi TT bush which has disconnected from the centre tube which need replacement.

Two part top hat design

The black one goes in first from the chamfered side of the wishbone, then the yellow and then the steel tube.

Tapped in with a hammer

Fitted

The wishbone and thus the bush is the other way up on the other side of the car.

I can't comment on their feel as I haven't driven with them yet.

Rear axle was by far the hardest job I had on my car (due to missing special tools). Took me a full weekend to change both.
