I would reccomend the powerflex ones, i used the deflex ones all round, but the only problem i found is the ones for the struts tend to split very easily. So i don't know what that says about the rest of them. But i reckon the powerflex ones would all be ok

got deflex on mine with no problems.a few of my mates have too.

Got DEFLEX on mine plus four other cars I did, not a problem, one is a 4x4 that goes off road every week, and regularly gets smashed to pieces but bushes still ok.

I've also recently ordered some bushes with Flo-flex but tbh, imo the quality isn't up to the quality of Powerflex. Just my observations.

tabetha

I have just ordered some from Chris Witor, who is a SUPERFLEX agent.
These really are top quality and knock spots off the powerflex crap, that I took off the rear roll bar, to replace with SUPERFLEX.
SUPERFLEX = Ł10.32 ALL IN DELIVERED
POWERFLEX= Ł30(collect)
I have had ONE failure with superflex in over 15 years which was replaced FOC next day.

tab,whats the differnce between s/flex and deflex?

tabetha

SUPERFLEX is an AUSSIE owned company who were doing this stuff, ie poly bushes before I was born, at the dawn of time in other words, so much more experience than some.
Some bushes are cold cast some are oven cast, curing time for bushes is VITAL too for resilience as it is during curing they absorb the self lubing qualities.
A lot of vehicles in the out back(aus) use superflex where they cannot afford failure due to thier unique environment.
I have always found Deflex a pain to get hold of, bad with actually getting them even when ordered paid for but they do the job ok, just as I'm getting older I do not want the hassle of waiting on the phone all day!!
