Product Information
Full details
This guide is for owners of VW T5 Transporter models (2003-2015) seeking improved handling and suspension response. The Powerflex Front Anti Roll Bar Bush (23mm, purple, Shore A 80) offers a performance upgrade over standard rubber components, leading to a more connected driving feel. A potential caveat is that this firmer bushing may transmit more road noise and vibration into the cabin compared to stock parts.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the Shore hardness of this bush?
This Powerflex bush has a Shore A hardness of 80, indicating a relatively firm material designed for performance.
Will this bush fit my VW T5 Transporter?
This bush is designed for VW T5 Transporter models from 2003 to 2015 and specifically fits a 23mm anti-roll bar.
Is professional installation required?
While not strictly mandatory, professional installation is recommended, especially if you are not experienced with automotive suspension work, to ensure correct fitment and safety.
What is the main benefit of upgrading from standard bushes?
The main benefit is improved handling, reduced body roll during cornering, and a more direct steering feel due to the stiffer material and design.
Can I use grease instead of silicone lubricant for installation?
No, it is crucial to use a silicone-based lubricant only. Petroleum-based greases can degrade the polyurethane material over time, reducing its lifespan and effectiveness.
Will this make my ride uncomfortable?
This performance bush may increase the transmission of road noise and vibration compared to standard rubber bushes, potentially making the ride firmer. This is a trade-off for improved handling.
Troubleshooting
Clunking noise from the front suspension
Ensure the anti-roll bar bushes are correctly seated and the mounting brackets are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Re-apply silicone lubricant if necessary.
Increased vibration felt in the cabin
This is a characteristic of stiffer suspension components. Ensure correct installation. If excessive, consider if this product aligns with your comfort preferences.
Difficulty fitting the bush
Ensure the correct 23mm bush is being used for your vehicle's anti-roll bar diameter. A light application of silicone lubricant can aid fitting. Use appropriate tools to avoid damaging the bush.
