Fitment Notes
Fitting the new insert, PFR68-120 Engine Mount Insert reduces engine movement caused by the torque reaction of the engine during acceleration and deceleration. Gains can be seen in power transfer to the road along with less stress on the exhaust downpipe, hoses and wiring. A small increase in NVH usually at idle should be expected when fitting an engine/transmission mount insert because you are effectively removing the original voiding and stiffening the mount between the engine/transmission and chassis. The performance benefits felt by fitting an uprated mount or insert come from blocking this voiding up, thus restricting engine movement.
Powerflex Polyurethane Bushes
Bushes are one of the most highly stressed components fitted to a car. They undergo enormous strain, in the most arduous of conditions with no maintenance or lubrication. Conventional rubber bushes deteriorate with age allowing movement of suspension components and geometry. This can cause tyre wear, braking instability, poor handling and engine deflection.
Powerflex Suspension Bushes:- Improve your car's road holding and chassis performance
- Allow your suspension to function efficiently
- Tyres have increased road contact at all times
- Improved safety and performance
- Have the same noise absorption as rubber bushes
- Normally no increase in vibration / harshness through the car
Powerflex Bushes are made from a technologically advanced polyurethane plastic compound impervious to petrol and vehicle oil, which doesn't age or perish and has a longer working life - up to 3-4 times that of conventional rubber bushes. In addition this compound overcomes the common problem associated with harder bushes which is increased noise. By correct engineering the polyurethane compound bushes can be made 25-30% stiffer than rubber bushes, but with exactly the same noise absorption properties. Unlike old technology Poly bushes any increase in vibration / harshness felt through the vehicle is normally undetectable.
