im looking at gettin deflex polybushes i aint heard of them, have you?

 

yes

 

are they anygood?

 

No there shite imo

 

they gotta be better than a 20 year old oe bush


no personel experience on them thou (as only bushes i have are in the steering rack)

 

Ive herd bad things from other people, they cheap so obviously not as good quality as polyflex

 

i got them all round on mine and aint had any problems in the 4 years they been on!!!!

 

I have their front set of bushes for about 6 months now - works just great and the price is very good as well...

 

What crap...

Had mine for years and had no problems

 

wich 1s are the best then?

 

just because they're cheaper why does it mean they are not as good? maybe they're just not as reputable so keeping costs lower they sell more?

 

ive had powerflex and deflex, powerflex are slightly better quality than deflex but not enough to warrant the £150 price difference for a full erst kit

 

The blokes asking whats best mate so im saying what i know !

Afew of my mates have used them and said they are a cheap copy

 

Where dose he ask that ?


Me and a lot of other people on this thread who USE them say thay are good.... So would you say we are talking crap...

Not a dig and please dont think it is'

 

i've got a full set of deflex bushes on mine, i've not had a proiblem with them.

i paid 70 odd quid for a FULL set. they only thing is they're abit "uglier" and have a cheaper look about them, and they come with no instructions (i dot know if powerflex ones do) so you have to change one bush at a time. all good from me

 

Where have i said your talking crap ? ? ?

Im just giving my input am i not allowed to have a say ?

 

i thought/heard deflex and powerflex were the same company anyway??

there was another name they used to use, then they went bust and started with the above??

not bothered either way tho, but i had polybushes all round and they make a BIG difference!

 

that's deflex and floflex you are thinking of , and yes they virtually went bust

i bought my set at the time they went tits up and had to wait 4 months for them and when they arrived some were ok some were shite ! i just used the ok ones and replaced the no good ones with powerflex as i couldn't be bothered to wait another 4 months !

 

powerflex bushes are the dogs danglies as far as i'm concerened

superflex come second in the price vs quality race

floflex/deflex are very hit and miss as you'll have certain people who will get good bushes and otheres who will recive totaly shite ones

but as an example:
powerflex tca bushes on my sierra 4x4: 11 years, 4 different cars, still going strong
superflex: about 2 years before they started to deteriorate and after 4 years virtually shagged
deflex: lasted about 4 months before they were shot to shit

in these cases it's certainly worth paying the premium for the better bushes and better qualty fittings to go with them, the deflex ones didn't even come with washers or a stainless insert and i'm sure i've got the remains somewhere

 

The biggest problem is that some of the cheep bushes come with mild steel inserts that rust, as long as they have stainless steel inserts you should be OK

Deflex I think fits poorly in some cases, and most certainly is not of the quality of powerflex imho

 

deflex bushes are shit,end of
they fit shit,they dont last and there customer service is a joke

imo powerflex are overpriced,but defo the best out there

though fittin NEW std bushes will see a big difference on its own
thing is the rear arm inner bush is pressed into the rear arm and ford as per want an arm and leg for it,id stick with new std bushes as there more forgivin than deflex/powerflex which in my opinion makes an already harsh rise harsher

 

can you get new std bushes anywhere?

 

i fitted a full set of deflex bushes on my old s2 and too thought they were a load of crap. whether i had a dodgy set who knows?

Waited ages for them to turn up and when i did eventually recieve them, a few were wrong, and the ones that were right, once fitted had even more movement than the shagged out old ones!

I wouldnt buy them again, put it that way.

Powerflex everytime!

 

I had some, not impressed.... Fit was poor, quality was fiarly shit, not the best thing I ever bought.....

 

So it aint just me that think they are shit then
