Back in 2008, we did a bunch of analysis to try to identify complete suspension bushing upgrade options. At that time, there was no single vendor that had a complete package of polyurethane bushings that covered the entire range of 924, 924S, 944, and 968.

Last year, Power Flex rounded out their offerings and now provide almost all of the necessary model-specific bushings to re-do the entire suspension in Poly. The only pieces they do not offer at this time are the upper strut mount bushing, the upper torsion carrier mount, and the torsion carrier wing mount. Everything else is now available for virtually every iteration and combination conceivable, including:

1. Front a-arm bushings (steel & alu a-arms)
2. Castor blocks (steel & alu a-arms)
3. Sway bar main bushings
4. Sway bar end bushings
5. Sway bar drop link bushings (all three versions now supported)
6. Rear sway bar bushings
7. Main torsion carrier to chassis bushings
8. Trailing arm to torsion carrier bushings
9. Spring plate to torsion carrier bushings

You can refer to this diagram to help determine which bushings you would like to upgrade:


The complete range of Power Flex bushings are now available on our Suspension Upgrades page, along with all of the OEM replacement bushings, including some of the additional hardware components (like upper strut mounts, rear sway drop links and eccentric adjusters).

Also, we have made some significant upgrades to our site recently, now offering the ability to create user-configurable kits, which should streamline the selection and ordering process.

Ahhh, very interesting, thanks much for the heads up, I'll see if I can borrow one to do some testing on. I tested on my Galaxy tablet, so it must be something with the Javascript code and how the iPad browser interprets it.

In the meantime, you can always email or PM me with your needs and I can put some package pricing together for you

ideola

OK, figured it out...just a minor display issue, should be fixed. Try again?

You have to force it to reload the page...it's caching the previous version of the page. I switched places with the $ field and the add to cart button, so that screenshot is still showing the previous version of the page.

Yep worked well.....going to delete my previous posts now to clean up your thread.

I do need bushings for a 1986 951 non m030. What do I need to measure to figure out what I need?

Tablets are a fad anyway

I'll definitely be replacing all my bushings in the future, these look promising.

You should need the "ROUND" style castor block bushings, but double check, as PET is not entirely clear which castor blocks came on which models, and it's possible a previous owner put a different style on. You will need to press the old rubber bushings out of the steel brackets.

Measure the O.D. of your front and rear sway bar, then select the appropriate sized sway bar bushing.

Hope that helps!

For the round caster blocks, how do you put the new poly piece into the bracket once the old one is removed? would this need a press?

ideola

You would only need a press to remove the old rubber bushing. The new poly bushings are multi-part components, as in this photo:


So the new poly bushings can be inserted without using any tools

And for those desiring more stiffness (yeah, I know, that's what she said), we've just added a number of Competition Suspension Components from Tarett Engineering.

Do you ship to Australia? Couldn't see your shipping info on your site.

ideola

Yes, absolutely!

Unfortunately, the PayPal shopping cart doesn't auto-calc for int'l shipments, but we can invoice separately for that if necessary.

Aussie944S

Awesome, I want to replace all of the bushings some time soon
