Powerflex polyurethane bushings are designed to decrease the amount of deflection in your car's suspension for better handling, driver feedback, and tire wear. Powerflex uses premium polyurethane materials for minimal NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) and increased longevity over the stock rubber bushings. The quality of Powerflex products can be seen the moment you open the box: premium polyurethanes, detailed moldings, lube holding grooves and knurls, and 304 stainless sleeves. Each kit is supplied with a copper-based grease for extended squeak-free operation. In some applications, we have polyurethane engine/ drivetrain mount and reinforcements to reduce movement for better throttle response and more power to the wheels.
Powerflex bushings do not come in complete chassis kits. Our bushings come à la carte to fit each customer's needs*. An automobile's bushings and mounts wear at different rates making "complete-kit" bushing sets unnecessary for most buyers. Many owners don't feel the need to replace every bushing at once, having only a particular location that needs attention. Replacing only the "weak links" in your car's suspension is a great way to tighten handling without stressing the budget.
Bushings come in pre-determined durometers (measured hardness) from Powerflex to work best in each particular location. If you feel you need a softer or harder compound to suite your particular needs and the option is not available, contact us. We can custom order in durometers ranging from 70A(Yellow), 80A(Purple), and 95A(Black). 70A is slightly harder than rubber and works great for drivers looking for a slight increase in chassis response. 70A is not suggested in certain location due to its lack of rigidity. 80A is noticeably harder than rubber and makes a great performance street material that retails low levels of NVH. 95A is the hardest, and can be used in certain locations with minimal NVH. For most locations, 95A is used for aggressive/track use only. Custom durometer bushing sets take at least 4 weeks for delivery.
Powerflex copper-based grease is supplied with every dynamic product. We suggest using only a copper-based grease for lubrication. Due to grooves and knurls cast into the material to hold the lubricant, bushings will rarely need re-lubing. We do not suggest using an "anti-seize" product for lubrication.
All Powerflex bushings are made in the UK and come with a 1 year, unlimited mile warranty.
*Bushings are sold in the required number for one car for the specified location- When you order a part number, you will receive the driver and passenger side. This is noted at the end of the part number (x2, x4, etc.). Confirm anti-roll bar diameter before ordering.
*PFF5-101MS is an optional support if using PFF5-101 for Motorsport.
**PFR5-1102 is fitted on 5/'03+ models. MINIs with production date before 5/'03 take PFR-110.
***PFF5-104 & PFF5-105 Upper Engine Support Bracket bushes will not fit models 2004 onwards if using oil filled engine mounts
