Product Information

Full details

The Powerflex Anti Roll Bar Bush (PFF85-411-23) is designed for automotive enthusiasts and drivers looking to upgrade their vehicle's handling performance and steering precision. These performance suspension bushes replace standard, soft rubber factory parts to provide a more stable and responsive driving experience, though users should expect a firmer ride feel compared to stock components. Engineered from a durable polyurethane compound, these 23mm bushes are built to resist wear and prevent unwanted suspension geometry movement during cornering.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Will these bushes make my car ride harshly?

While they are 25-30% stiffer than rubber, most drivers find the increase in road feel to be well within comfortable limits for daily driving.

Do I need special tools to install these?

Standard workshop tools are sufficient, though a vice or clamp can be helpful for seating the polyurethane bush into its housing.

Why use polyurethane instead of rubber?

Polyurethane is more resistant to oil, road salt, and heat, and it does not perish or soften over time like natural rubber.

Can I use these for daily driving?

Yes, they are designed to be durable enough for daily commutes while providing the performance needed for spirited driving.

How often should I lubricate these bushes?

The initial application during installation is usually sufficient; however, you can apply a silicone-based grease if you notice noise later.

What is the primary benefit of the stainless steel inserts?

They prevent the internal metal sleeve from rusting, ensuring that the bolt and bush assembly does not seize over time.

Troubleshooting

Increased noise or squeaking after installation

Ensure that the provided assembly lubricant was applied evenly and that the bush is correctly seated within its housing.

Bush feels loose or moves during operation

Verify that the anti-roll bar diameter is exactly 23mm and that the mounting brackets are tightened to the correct specification.

Difficult to slide onto the anti-roll bar

Clean the bar surface of any oxidation or old rubber residue and apply additional silicone-based lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly increases suspension stiffness over factory rubber
  • High durability with specialized polyurethane compound
  • Stainless steel inserts prevent corrosion-related failure

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, verify that your vehicle's anti-roll bar diameter is exactly 23mm, as these bushes are precision-fit components. The installation process involves removing the old, degraded rubber bushes, ensuring the anti-roll bar surface is free of debris or rust, and applying the provided assembly lubricant to ensure smooth movement and noise suppression. It is recommended to check the hardware torque settings according to the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. Periodic care includes a visual inspection during regular maintenance to ensure the polyurethane remains seated and free of contamination.
