Powerflex bushes are a much better option. Much weaker than oe due to not twin skined.
They were cheap for a reason. Each to there own.
Ferdinand wouldn't use on the road though. The ones I see fail twisted on a air field day. Ripped of wing. Was a mk5 escort.

Worth thinking about for anyone who wants some. Its just ive broke a car and they were fitted, been trying to sell them but wanted to know who made them.

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
When I had my FRST I made a set like this with rose joints and from welded sheet steel. They were indeed quite simple to produce and allowed geometry to be set BUT were weak and no matter what we did couldn't improve a modded Ford standard part , pressed steel.
I certainly wouldn't want to make anyone else a part like this for a 'performance enhancement' without a full test to clarify its strength and to stop me from being put in prison when someone driving it has a failue or injures someone else because of a part failure.

Myabe the sheet steel was the problem? I know how i'd do it if i were to make something like that.
Hence me saying "That's how good parts keep going/get better". Obviously modded originals are easier, but thats not as easy if youre doing a space frame and want double wishbones or summat.
