Suspension bushes are some of the most highly stressed components of a car, they undergo enormous strains and in the most arduous of conditions with no maintenance or lubrication. The OEM material is a rubber compound which deteriorates becoming softer and more pliable, resisting the forces placed on it less and less. This allows more movement of suspension components and offers less control over the suspension geometry. This in turn causes accelerated tyre wear, braking instability and poor handling.
Powerflex bushes are 25-30% stiffer than OEM items but with exactly the same noise absorbing properties, fitting new Powerflex bushes will
- Prolong tyre life
- Improve car feedback and handling
- Increase safety
- Save money over the duration of the car
