Fitment Notes
These bushes are designed to fit genuine control arms. If non genuine arms are fitted and you find the stainless steel sleeve not to fit onto the wishbone, please contact us with dimensions of the wishbone pin as you will require modified sleeves. There can be an issue with the pin diameter for PFF1-812 sleeves on non-genuine arms. The genuine arms have a pin diameter of 20mm, the non genuine arms have a pin diameter of 21.3mm. If you have arms with 21.3mm pin for the 812 bush then please telephone and we will send you replacements. PFF1-812 kit also comes with different sized rings. Select the correct ring depending on the rear bracket fitted. Use smaller ring (802b) with the aluminium bracket and 802c with the pressed steel bracket. It is only possible to fit these bushes after removing the arms from the car. For arms fitted with the pressed steel rear bracket the rubber bush may need to be burned out using a blowtorch, then the bracket cleaned up to ensure a good surface. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF LOCTITE 648 OR 848 TO SECURE CENTRE SLEEVE TO ARM
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.
