Power flex or standard?

Antos · Jul 30th, 2023, 11:55

Any advice would be appreciated ,

My rear control arm bushing’s need replacement on my 2015 xc60
Is it best to go with the poly ones or just fit the Volvo ones which will fail again?

My only concern is I’ve heard the poly flex ones sometimes need regreased or they’ll squeak?

Thanks.

I would go for polybush every time . I fitted mine as per instructions using the correct lubricant and have never had a squeak. Have fitted them on several vehicles from landrover's to BMW M5s and my old Volvo 850, which did about 35k with no problems or squeaks .

No problem with my Subaru, or previous Audi, either.

Did you need any special tools to fit these ?
