Powerflex bushes poll...yes or no???
I need to replace several bushes on my petrol S60 and have never used polyurethane bushes before, so the question is, do I or don't I go for it??

Powerflex is a brand name!
Look up 'Superflex' owned by Chris witor, I have always used his bushes for older cars and never had aproblem with his stock or customer services. Poly bushes vary greatly between suppliers and just because one companies polybush is yellow it doesn't mean it is the same grade (hardness) as another companies yellow polybush.unlike as shown in another thread where a polybush didn't last very long Chris's bushes are made to a very high standard and will last. |

Did you use the grease when putting in the superflex bushes?

This was on one of my many Capris, i had always used Powerflex previously, then heard about these other ones so gave them a go, a couple of my mates had them as well and they had the same problem so it wasnt just me |
Powerflex bushes rock
Just expect pain if you drive on cobbles! (and noise on concrete) |
done the front end with powerflex & dosent seem a bad ride to me and i live in pothole city..
a great improvement to the handleing though |
Replaced the front wishbone bushes on my S60 which made it a much nicer drive because a reduction in the tram lining affect which the old bushes contributed to.
Ride quality is the same as standard bushes although if you changed lots of the suspension to poly then you may get reduced ride comfort. Something else to consider is the tyre wear is reduced. My front tyres wore much more evenly than with the standard bushes allowing me to get more miles from a set. |
