Club 80-90 Forums

Sorry for the continued 'subject title' with innuendo. Can't resist, must of been exposed to too much 'Carry on Laughing'!

I posted a thread regarding the removal of the lower control arm bushes (link below), I'll get round to removing them soon, but as the bushes are going on a Syncro and I intend to use the vehicle as it was designed . Then do you off-roaders have any feedback regarding the powerflex bushes or the OEM parts? What gets the thumbs up? I'm after robustness rather than performance if that helps swing the balance?

Once again - cheerz.

powerflexed all mine find it very tight but good you sacrifice a bit of ride comfort as you can feel every bump on the road but you get used to it just did a 6500km trip with no problems some on autobahns,much better roadhandling. Also probably helps to compensate for old suspension. Polybushes also seem to be all the rage in offroad rally circles these days they came initially from racing circles its considered to be one of he best and cheapest upgrades to the suspension in terms of tightening up the handling, and the powerflex bushes are considered to be the best my local mechanic was in awe. Poly bushes are also meant to last longer as they don't perish like rubber does but probably remains to be seen also a lot easier to put in. However some lads prefer rubber as it has more give and ride comfort so think its a matter of taste hope this is of help
