powerflex bushes

[si&helen cali89]

im thinking about changing all my rubber bushes to powerflex ive been told they improve handling stop all the squeeks and rattles plus have a lifetime warranty has anybody got them on there bus and how have they got on with them??

[CovKid]

Well, I'm not convinced that changing EVERY bush is cost effective or even worthwhile but certainly some bushes benefit from swapping out for polyflex - rear trailing arms for instance where you won't want to go again and on the front suspension/steering. Urethane type equivalents have been around a long time though, particularly in the Beetle custom market and have proved their worth. However I wouldn't prescribe to blindly changing every bush in sight - unless you have money to burn.

it would be nice to get rid of that old rusty bed spring sound you get in westies with every bump in the road

I have done some of the front ones and they improved the steering no end. And cured a knocking that couldn't be pinned down to any particular area. (Note to self - Must finish doing it and put the rest on! )

I have the full set of powerflex bushes on mine, the difference is huge. I only need one lane of the autobahn now.

I thought that's because you quit drinking..?
