I'm looking for Powerflex bushes to replace my worn wishbone bushes. There are some distrobutors in Taiwan but they all charge a big premium over original price (around 50%), so I'm thinking of mail-order from UK or somewhere directly.

Anyone know any place selling these bushes over the internet? Any suggested store? A lot on Powerflex website but didn't see Porsche specialists....

Thanks!

Thanks! I contacted them both and waiting for their reply.

Andrew,
Do you feel any difference for Powerflex bushes vs. original one? Will it be harsh or noisy?

a964man

Patrick, they feel they same really certainly not harsh, but they do creek a bit when you first move off after being parked for a while, like the pads have stuck to the disc kinda noise, other than that no problems.

Cheers Andrew

Just ordered from Polybushes.com. Very competitive price and shipping rate! Since I don't have to pay VAT, total price include shipping (around £10) is cheaper than their listed price!

Thanks!

A964man,
I have had these bushes for 2 years with no noises. Did you put the grease up the center of the bush before bolting the wishbones back on ?

The supplied lubricant looked suspiciously like 'copper slip'. So I covered mine, and also 'locktited' the bush into the arm. No noise, no play, no problems!

a964man

Geoff, yep the guy that fitted the bushes used a siicone lubricant

A964man,
Sounds like your problem. Copperslip is the recommended/supplied lube.
The noise sounds like the bushes are running effectively dry - Not good .
Why not take the car back and get the bushes lubed properly ?Easy job.
