im thinkin of replacing all the bushes when i rebuild the underside of my s2 with polybushes.i know of polyflex,but ive seen others on ebay etc for alot less.does any1 have any opinions on the bushes?...or recommend any?

 

deflex mate full car kit is about 88 quid im just fitting a set to my cossy and doing the s2 afterwards a mate has a set he fitted to his s2 said there wkd

 

ill be fitting deflex bushes to mine when i come to put it all back together.

 

I've got Deflex fitted to my S2. They were a right Coont of a job to do, and some say they don't fit as well as others, I've not had a problem in the last year and know lots of people with Deflex kits. Like people say, very well priced.

 

I've got Powerflex - with polyurethane bushes I personally think it's all about how much noise they transfer into / through the car..........have no experience of the others so can't comment though.

 

deflex, full set,brilliant,the only problem ones are the steering rack mounts,and the rear tie bar bushes,get some stainless inserts for little more,if you need to know about the tie bar and rack ones ,i have tips.

 

so the general feeling is deflex are better ?

or just flavour of the month ?

im about to go buy a full front set of polyflex.......

is that so bad ?

 

Depends how much you're about to pay. From deflex I think a full car set for a mk3 escort, including the stainless inserts and delivered is only around £100.

do you have a link to a site for these? for the S1

 

oh well , if its just the price thats different then im not too worried....

 

price difference,both easy to fit,if alls clean and old ones removed,(burn em out),both should go on,and last for yonks,no more mot bushes are shot failures too

others include,
deflex
polyflex
powerflex
superflex
standard
and bend one ,two,up one ,two, bend one,tw

maybe the powerflex ones are hoses,may be wrong

deffies,a ton,then a ton fifty on summit else,maybe springs and new polybump stops.
polyflex were for a full kit im sure aeound 250

 

got a mixture of both on my s1. Would of been powerflex but come to fit the tie bar to chassie one's and they were to small and they didn't do another kind, so deflex made me a set up anyone esle had this problem before on a series1??

 

Bought DEFLEX for my S2.Didn't fit that well so sold them on E-BAY and got some powerflex ones.FRONTS £75 and the REARS £145.A bit more expesive but fit no problems and superb on the road.As a wise man once said"CHEAP NOT GOOD,GOOD NOT CHEAP".

 

ive just got full set of deflex ones, only fitted a couple so far, in the middle of doing them!
where do you get the exhaust rubbers from to match? do deflex do them? anyone know

 

Don't think deflex do these. I bought a set of powerflex ones for a couple of quid, not fitted yet but they weren't expensive. Been that long since I seen them but I think you need 3.

 

Can't find a website but they advertise in either Performance Ford or Fast Ford mags.

Thanks, will be needing this

 

just fitted all my deflex bushes, all fitted really good!

some advice for people buying them, they do 2 diff sizes for the rear wishbones, inner and outer bushes! one size for if u remove the metal insert that goes around the old bush,what looks as if it doesnt come out, and another size for if u leave the metal insert in! didnt know this until i rang them up yesterday after struggling trying to get them to fit lol

but once i found that out they all fitted easily, am very happy with them
