Hi to all,

I plan to replace b asically all the bushings on my car with Powerflex items.
I read some nice stories about those bushings ( stiffer, accurate handling... ) but saw some reports telling that they could brake ( specially the control arm one )...

Well, is anybody here run the bushings since let's say 2 years and didn't have any issues at all with them ???

Thanks for help / Pierre

I had mine fall off in under a month! Have the BMW M3 ones on there now and there is no difference between the two. The choice is yours.

I have supplied and fitted loads without problems.

There was 2 cases in one minth where there was a problem but never happened again - it was a bad batch which was caused by bad materials.

Even BMW bushes fail sometimes - just the way it is.
