Hi,

I've bought a set of PowerFlex Front Suspension and Antiroll bushes but when I looked at my arms I noticed the rear bush looks a bit tired on both sides, so I though I'd try and find replacement bushes for them too before starting work.

Can you get rear poly bushes? If so can anyone link them for me please?

Regards

Rear bush polys are not available as far as I know.

they are not available off the shelf, but it can be done

Does anyone know which powerflex bush was used?

Think you may have found a gap in the market there Razzo. 

[J.S.B.]

Yeah 

How much for a pair of them?

I`d be interested too

Considering the movement that particular bush has to accomodate, surely it has to be a void bush, and not a solid one? Which is a pity, as a length of polyurethane and a sharp tool in the lathe would soon produce such a thing.

It's yet another instance of just good enough design; after all, Escorts suffer from exactly the same problem, although a new wishbone is only £15.

Can Polly be bought in a tube? Possibly in the relevant in side and outside diameters...?


Center spacer should be easy enough.

And me, I would delay fitting the new wishbones I was planning for this week if someone is going to make some......

its available in the right size off the shelf but it aint cheap, just need to cut them to length, drill the hole & get the tubes made up. Bar comes in 12 inch lengths so should get a few bushes out of one bar, if enough peeps are interested shouldn't cost too much per pair

Count me in if it can be done soon.

I must say, I'd also be surprised if you can get enough flexibilty from a solid bush yet have it last well enough in that application. Happy to be proved wrong, though.
