Help with Powerflex bushes on 1.1 (wishbone mounted ARB)

[johnmclaren]

I recently bought some Powerflex bushes for my 106. Its a poverty spec one so the ARB is mounted on the wishbone. I tried to install the outer bushes and I ended up cracking the clamp as the clamp just wouldn't sit flush on the wishbone like it should. I then measured the ARB and its 21mm, not 20mm that the bush is. Also weren't 106 either sold with a 19mm or 21mm fARB depending on spec? Wondering if anyone else has had the same issues or any experience fitting these exact bushes. I've attached a photo showing how the Powerflex bush sits on the ARB. Obviously it should be under the bracket but the original bush is under there. As you can see the 'split' in the bush is no where near closed either. Thanks

Those ones look suspiciously like they belong in the middle of the arb rather than on the wishbones. A quick google isn't throwing up any results for polybushes for the ends of arbs for poverty spec saxos.

They are definitely the ones for the ends. The inner ones look like this

Honestly mate I cant find anything about base model polybushes, those are definitely the wrong ones, maybe the guy just gave you some that might have fit? You would probably get away with changing the middle bushes as the wishbone ones look pretty stiff themselves.

It's for a base model 106 not a saxo. But they are the same setup. And I've just googled it too. Plenty results for a 106 base model, which is what I've bought. But nothing for a saxo. Powerflex advertised them to fit all models except GTi and Rallye, as seen here. Guessing this is just a major cock up by Powerflex?
