Powerflex suspension bushes are designed and manufactured in the UK using a technologically advanced range of polyurethane materials. They outlast standard bushes by a factor of ten and in the first year can save you the cost of the bushes in tyre wear alone. Powerflex also offers added safety with improved braking stability and grip.
The advanced polyurethane compound overcomes the common problem of increased noise associated with harder bushes. The engineered compound means the bushes can be made 25-30% stiffer than rubber bushes whilst retaining the same noise absorption ability.
Powerflex bushes use stainless steel inserts where required, so there are none of the corrosion issues associated with cheaper bushes.
Suspension bushes are amongst the most stressed components fitted to a car as they take up the force of bumps hitting the suspension. Traditional rubber suspension bushes deteriorate as they age and wear, becoming softer and less resistant to the strains of the forces put on them. As this happens it allows more movement of the suspension components and less control. This extra movement can significantly increase tyre wear, braking instability and promote poor handling.
The advantages of using Powerflex polyurethane suspension bushes are:
