Fitment Notes
PFR19-111 - Inner bush kit is supplied with mounting bolt. Original Ford bolt needs to be cut off to be removed. Full details enclosed with fitting instructions. The inner bush kit (PFR19-111) is complete with two M12 x 90mm bolts and nylock nuts. It is not possible to remove the old bush from the inner swinging arm because of the location of the rear differential. To remove the old bush it is best to undo the retaining nut and then cut the head off of the bolt with a hacksaw or angle grinder. Then remove the bolt from the nut end. Fit the new bushes the rear beam assembly needs to be lowered to enable removal of the old bushes. It may be necessary to remove the rear trailing arm complete and use a hydraulic press to remove the old bushes. Re-assemble these bushes into suspension components using a small smear of the grease supplied. To get the most benefit from your new bushes we recommend that the suspension geometry is checked and set after fitting any new bushes.
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.
