  • Rear Powerflex bushes on Avant???

    I´m in the process of upgrading the chassies with adjustable Konis to the previous H&R lowering kit. Planned to replace all the bushes and the front ones seems to be a piece of cake.

    The rear one on the other hand confuses me a bit. From what I can understand www.powerflex.co.uk states that the rear wishbone are the same size as in front. But when I measured them they are of two sizes ca. 47mm and 59mm!!!

    Have any of you guys uprated the rear bushes with powerflex or similar?? Am I´m just paranoid (ordered parts last week, planned to arrive this week), have powerflex the correct sizes??

    TIA

    The rear bushes on avants are totally different to the fronts. On a coupe they are the same front and rear.

    AFAIK powerflex don't make any bushes for the avant rear suspension. I had a good look through their website a while back when I fitted my powerflex front bushes.

      Just as I suspected The thing is that mine are a bit worn and they really need to be replaced.

      Is there any other manufacturer with polyurethan bushes or similar that could be used?

          Couldn´t find anything on their website. Now I´m searching for a turner that for a reasonable cost can make me "homemade" ones. We´ll see how that goes.

            try this

            http://www.superflex.co.uk/SuperFlex...tro_Prices.pdf

            Also worth giving them a call, if they dont have it and powerflex dont make them they may design them and start supplying them if the interest is there.
