suspension bushes

Post by samk »

Hi All,

Just about to confirm an order on some new suspension bushes. I think i'm going to go for most of the essential ones from brickwerks. Just to be sure, can anyone identify the split rubber parts in the pictures shown?

Thanks,

sam

I did all most of my front bushes last year. Most of them were Brickwerks sourced purple powerflex bushes and have improved the front end accuracy no end. I did the drop link bushes in powerflex with new washers but used standard rubber bushes for the end of the anti-roll bar above. Be wary of using all purple powerflex as it can lead to a slightly harsh ride over rippled/rough road surfaces. (Perhaps try some of Brickwerks' bushes in yellow, slightly softer apparently.)
