powerflex bushes - Saxperience

dannygti · 29th May 2007, 22:39

hey guys n girls just a few questions.
powerflex bushes, anyone who has fitted them do they make a difference?
are they easy to put in?
and should i do the arb strait away or can i leave it for now?
also do the powerflex rear beam bushes make any difference?
any help would be mucho appreciated

yes they do. firmer ride tightens handling on tight corners.
can be a bitch to get old ones off.
arb wont matter.
do them all

dannygti · 29th May 2007, 23:30

also could i do the rear bushes myself?

Ryan^p · 29th May 2007, 23:35

off the top of my head yours would be the later type, although id ring up and ask as i cant remeber 100%

also rear beam bushes are easy to do if you can get the beam off ok

williamsvts · 30th May 2007, 10:04

they come off easy. just whack a screwdriver in to snap the plastic.

l1ukeRS · 30th May 2007, 11:53

you can knock them out with a extension bar and a socket head

ryhornvtr · 31st May 2007, 21:54

Yes they are good. Nothing wrong with powerflex either. They firm up the suspension quite nicely.
