Hi, my cars a bit bumpy and rattley for me, so i removed the coilovers and fitted koni's. i was thinking of changing all the bush's with the Powerflex ones.

Will it make a difference? Or what would you guy recomend?

Depends what springs you have, and on how you have set the Koni's up?

Yes worn bushes can make things "rattly" as they would have play in them, tbh poly bushing should be on the cards anyway, as the bushes are almost certainly past there vest.

Just don't change the trailing arms "spherical" bushes!

Obviously due to the nature of the car, it's always going to have a fairly 'firm' ride!

Why not change the trailing arm bush's?

Was someone not selling a set of bushs just the other week on here?

you should have just got some softer springs for the coilovers mate.. when i went from konis to gaz golds i regretted it until i got some softer springs and now its so much better..

the rear arms have a spherical bearing not a bush. this reduces the movement in the joint giving better handling. a few people on here have destroyed bushes in a few miles.

Could you or sombody expalain this for me as i dont understand.

the spherical bearing is also known as a rose joint. a rubber bush allows some movement to cushion and insulate the suspension, its also cheap!. the spherical bearing allows virtually no movement improving the handling immensley.
