At last bushes

Great mine yesterday too, thanks Angel

 

Are you guys getting black ones or the purple?

 

Finally! Ive been moaning to powerflex ever since I got the megane about a bushes set for the mk2

even for track use black is very hard and certainly to much for road so I'll be going for the softer purple bushes.

 

Can be time consuming and often involves fire. And swearing.

 

steve likes fire:rolleyes:

 

I changed the rear axle bushes on my Golf to purple poly ones last week. I think it took me around 2 hours to do myself, including putting my tools away.
That was on a 2 poster ramp and used a gearbox jack to support the axle.

 

Also shows camber bolts on the powerflex site

 

Lol, it's the latest craze, must order a set,(NOT)

 

as we discussed mate, leave it alone :cool:

 

Lol, you'll need some front ARB bushes as well now MW

 

That's why you can only see 1 size gray as there is only 1 size 20mm

 

I'm in for a proper review of this bushes. I pretty much doubt they will make any visible differences to the rear beam axles our cars is using, but let's see what people has to say. Also I'm very interested in the amount of squeak they are going to do after 3 months of road use.

Speaking with Ads, he told me that they never sold rear bushes because they never wear out (except going 300k miles), so they see pretty low load. That tells me the bushes will make pretty small difference.
And if you want to go a little tougher but still keep rubber, you can use the Megane 3 bushes. The dimensions are (needs to be tested althou') the same.

I've seen people speaking here about the amount of difference this bushes made in they've VW. I still have hard time find which VAG car has a beam axle or they never looked under the Meggy.

a company from poland put a few pictures of a megane engine polyurethane insert on the megane Facebook group. looking at it it looks to be the same as the 197/200 one the powerflex do

The lower engine mount is the same as the 197/200 (using the old style link) but they only just released that.

The rest of the powerflex range for the meg should be out very soon though

I had the castor adjustable ones on the Clio set to maximum and the difference was immense. Turn in was so much more instant and presise. The Anti lift was also noticable on hard acceleration.

 

I think I'll get the lower arm set and two new lower arms to fit them to.

I take it they do them in the Black Series too Angel ?

 

They do indeed, we havnt got them on the web yet but I can do as before and send you a PayPal invoice

 

I have the same problem.
Such a dilemma!!

 

how hard are the ARB bushes to change?

 

^^ Interested to know that as well.

How hard are they to adjust to get the geometry correct?

 

The arms need to be removed in order to fit the bushes. A press is also needed to remove the old bushes and insert the new ones in.

The adjustment of the castor is done when you insert the bush. The bush has an off center metal adjustable rod that can be positioned to set the castor. Setting to maximum is very easy and straight forward when following the enclosed instructions. If you wanted to readjust you would need to remove the lower arm in order to do this due to the positioning of the bush.

The camber adjustable lower arm bush can be adjusted on the car in situ with the adjuster spanner provided.

 

ARB bushes not arm bushes :cool:

 

Q - I've an 08 Mk2 with 170,000KM on the clock, no issues (aside from the pulling to the left mostly but hubs are on my to-do list this summer)

I don't track the car so would the suspension bushes be of any benefit? Even for just a refresh after 6 years?
