Just stumbled across these PF bushes which to me seem to be fairly new items as i never saw them in their catalogue before. What about the built in +0,5 caster? What do our suspension pros think of these.
Roller bearing whishbone bushes seem somewhat overkill for what i intend to use my 6.
So if anyone has any reviews or experiences on these please share them with us.

Cheers

I seem to remember phillip m saying they were a big old pile of balls iirc.
Seems to be 3 options as i have seen
Standard
Vibratechnics
Rollers

Rollers are best for a supercharged 6 iirc, Something to do with power murdering the bushes or is that high boost ?

This is what i was initially going for. These new ones seem miles away from the standart 6 ones and can be bought from febibilstein or trw.
I then came across the powerflexx ones. Woud 0,5 degrees even be noticeable?

I usually buy Moog bushes. I tend to fit these (the new revised type) to Berlingos which spend loads of time off the road, and no complaint yet!

yes, all the same part number, all about £20 from a dealer, you will need the M10 bolt too, its a fine thread, the steel early type uses standard M8, hole in subframe is big enough for M10.

I'm using the powerflex P bushes. There very stiff compared to standard. They have very little give. When I first fitted them the car felt a lot 'sharper' and turn in was improved... probably because they were stiffer. Had them for 1.5yrs now with no issues.

Not tried rollers yet or other types so cant make any comparison there.
