Powerflex bushes offer significantly improved steering and suspension feedback, leading to sharper handling and more precise control, while maintaining noise isolation.
Powerflex has engineered their polyurethane compound to provide 25-30% stiffer performance than new rubber bushes with the same noise-absorbing properties. While a slight increase in road feel is expected, excessive noise is not typical.
Yes, they are suitable for fast road use. However, if ultimate ride comfort is your priority, the firmer feel might be less desirable than standard rubber bushes.
Powerflex offers a lifetime warranty on their entire product range, covering manufacturing defects and normal wear and tear under intended use.
Installation requires specific tools and knowledge of suspension systems. While possible for experienced DIY mechanics, professional installation by a qualified technician is recommended for safety and optimal performance.
After installation, it's recommended to have the vehicle's wheel alignment checked to ensure optimal handling and tire wear.
This can be a characteristic of stiffer suspension components. Ensure bushes are fully seated and consider if the vehicle's standard insulation is sufficient for your comfort level. The polyurethane compound is designed to minimize this, but some change is inherent.
Suspension bush replacement can be challenging. Ensure you have the correct tools and consider consulting a workshop manual or seeking professional assistance. A press may be required for proper fitting.
While designed for performance, excessive harshness might indicate other suspension issues or that the stiffness is not suited to your driving preference or road conditions. Ensure all other suspension components are in good order.
Compatibility: These bushes (PF8-902) are specifically designed for the Caterham Seven model. Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle.
Setup: Installation typically involves removing the original rubber bushes and pressing in the Powerflex units. Due to the nature of suspension components, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure correct alignment and safety. Ensure all mounting hardware is torqued to manufacturer specifications.
Care: Powerflex bushes require minimal maintenance. A simple clean with mild soap and water is sufficient if they become dirty. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the bushes. Regular inspection for any signs of damage or wear is advised, though their durable construction minimizes the need for frequent checks.
