Afternoon all, Im about to order a Powerflex kit for my 4x4 Sapphire, if i remember rightly i read in here a while back the there is a certain place on the car that i dont fit them because otherwise it drives to hard and vibrates?? Or am i going mad!

Im gonna be using it on mainly on road and occasional track days so i dont want it rock hard that i feel every bump it the road. Any help would be much appreciated...

Cheers

 

Poly bushe everything except the rear trail arms

Agreed, and fit a proper triangulation mount too.

 

Nice 1 Stu

Ahmed Bayjoo 6 degree rear beam is what I really wanted for Xmas

Triangulation mount?

 

Sorry, differential mount to most of you guys.
(its not a diff mount of course, but hey ho... LOL)

 

On at least 15 sierra/cossies I have driven with poly arm bushes, I have yet to see any issue, and use these here myself, but it's up to each personal choice.

Or go the whole hog, fit a good diff mount, AB 6 degree beam, poly bush the car, fit AB spring set with Konis

 

A simple question here should suffice for you to see what we mean.


The part in question is under very heavy load and subject to considerable forces as you know. Do you think a poly bush of any form could ever be as accurate at aligning a rotating part under such loads as a spherical bearing?

 

It doesn't matter what you get bud as they will only sit in your grandad's garage and never get fitted anyway, lol
You'd have a awesome road car if you fitted all the parts you got in boxes

 

Got one

 

Awesome cheers for the input people just what i was after..

Ace!! i'll get one as these aswell on the suggestion nice one!


Cheers Gav!! Ya bastid!

 

I forgot to ask, if im not to poly bush the trailing arm bushes what do i use in its place instead??

 

Nothing if your bearings are in good nick, if not, new spherical bearings.

 

Great! Thanks for the help, and info about the triangulation mount aswell matey .

 

If your trailing arm bushes are gone dude you need these ones

Not cheap though

 

As said just replace with standard trail arm bushes the last time I checked from ford one side was available while the other was not, iirc i think its the inner one you could get but not the outer, GGR do direct replacements of these bushes

Doh Just noticed Gav's link post above mine previous post

fuck me!!!!!!!! £320 for a set of trailing arm bushes

you might as well get a proper beam for that price if you are going to spend money on it
