Just had Powerflex black series rear beam bushes fitted to my 3dr cos.
It never felt bad but wow what a difference. My old bushes were the original rubber jobbies and way pay their best. The back end now feels in sync with the front
Already have a rear strut brace and poly diff mount and this has tightened the rear up further.
If anyone is thinking about changing there beam bushes for solid mounts or polybushes
I can recommend the black series from powerflex for this application.
Thats all.

 

My beam and rear ARB bushes were changed over the winter to for the Powerflex black series on my 2wd sapp, mine were also original Ford bushes,once inspected when removed they were totally shot.It has made a huge difference to the feel of the car now especially whilst cornering.
A very worthwhile mod especially if your still on the original Ford rubber bushes, they will be shot now due to rubber deteriation over the years.

Yes thats it exactly. Biggest difference is when pushing on and chucking it in to a bend the back end tracks much better rather than playing catch up after the initial weight transfer loading.
Get your beam bushes upgraded lads.

 

Had the same as you on my 2wd Saff, plus ARB bushes, rear strut brace and poly diff mount for a while. Good modifications which does make a noticeable difference to road holding.

 

Have to agree it totally transforms the drivability, have also got an Vibra Technics gear box mount & Collins engine mounts.

 

Yes I also had the original diff mount, changed it for a new Poly mount, that by itself makes a massive difference.

Thanks. Lee.

 

 

Mate i havent noticed any downsides going with the black series. You want the beam as solid as possible without excessive noise vibration etc.
Yellows no doubt a great improvement over standard rubber to.

I know a good garage that can fit if you need any recommendations

 

I haven't had any vibration issues either with the black series.Yes beam needs to be solid as you say.
Whichever you choose to fit will be a huge improvement over the standard Ford rubber bushes without a doubt.

I wouldn't use black series for everything but for the beam i think they are ideal. No extra noise that i could tell just everything feels more taught and controlled at the rear.
I've no experience of yellows on a cossie beam but no doubt they are a good step up from the originals mate and as you say keep the nvh to a minimum.
