Hi guys,Just wondered if anybody on here has fitted the Powerflex rear beam tension kit to their 306, and if so is there any noticeable difference? Am about to buy a set of solid mounts to fit once I refurbish my beam, and thought I could also do the Powerflex kit at the same time, if anybody has any experience with one fitted. Cheers, Ash |

The tensioning kit consists of 4 wedges that fit into the gaps in the standard rear mounts on the rear beam and reduce the prevalence of the passive rear steer. They are incompatible with solid mounts due to the removal of the rubber bush. (Solid mounts completely remove the passive rear steering.)I've used this kit and I like the feel, it's about half way between standard mounts and uprated rubber ones, with none of the extra vibration and road noise you get from uprated ones. ________________________________________ Rich |

Powerflex tension kit AND solid mounts at the same time? That's impossible silly billy!Just stick to solid mounts - you will get four so no need for a tension kit. I have a tension kit. They make a teeny weeny bit of difference but on the whole they are gay as fook and I'm looking into getting some solid mounts soonish hopefully. ________________________________________ Team Peugeot Sport 308 Gti�Black T'99 Gti - may she rest in peace - written off in a shunt on the A329m |

In fact I reckon the best thing to do for anyone who wants to try a tensioning kit is save your money and buy a box of tampons and shove some of them in the rear bush. Will do exactly the same thing for a fraction of the money, won't pop out and be just as gay ________________________________________ Team Peugeot Sport 308 Gti�Black T'99 Gti - may she rest in peace - written off in a shunt on the A329m |

Haha what an idiot! That was partly the reason why I asked, as I wasn't entirely sure if they would be needed, or in this case possible to use with solid beam mounts.Never mind! Thanks for the feedback. Cheers |
