Default powerflexed engine stabiliser bar. .

Fitted a set of powerflex engine stabiliser bar tensioning bushes this weekend, so so easy to fit and after a drive earlier my observations are:-

The front end feels alot ''tighter''
Bumps in the road dont knock it off course so easily.
Combined with the powerflex front and rear bushed wishbones it turns in and grips like a bar steward.
slightly more noise in cabin on tickover and a very slight vibration, not enough to bother but it is there.
A slight growl on heavy acceleration but in a nice way.

I feel a very worthwhile mod as the benefits far outweigh the negatives. ...

Default Good for you. Mine shook horribly.

Hello, To m30rmf: Which engine do you have?
Year, model, trim level/engine and mileage help paint the picture. They serve as the canvas. Kira
