Powerflex bushes
Hello every body,
In september 2005, I've installed Powerflex bushes on my front C2 wishbones.
6000 miles after, this is the result
Before ( when new )
After 9 month of normal drive ( no track )
So, for those who have the same material on their 964, better check !!!!

You should contact PowerFlex and ask them if this is normal/expected. If they are a stand-up company they will replace the bushes for free.
I have been planning to change my bushes in the autumn, but if PowerFlex's products are that bad I might give it a second thought.

I think it's gonna be complicated. They are in Great britain, I'm in France and I don't think that the french company from whom I got this bushes will do something for me.
I've ordered original Porsche wisbone.
Expensive, but no doubt conçerning the quality !!!

Maybe, but the Porsche wishbones are already ordered !!!
So, I don't need the Powerflex anymore.

Boubi ,
You bet there is a firewall !! Why not post pics as attatchments ?
Still no answer on who fitted the bushes. I know a few people who have used these bushes with no issues.
Are you sure they were fitted correctly ??
All the best

For the pics, there are three above !!
Sorry, can't do better.
For the answer "who fitted the bushes", the answer is also above: ME !!
And yes, I 'm sure I did the work correctly.
Did I get a defective part ???
Perhaps !!!

Boubi,
Shame that you have had a bad experience but as you wont/cant ? contact Powerflex I guess thats that.
I am completely happy with mine. Been on the car for nearly three years with no issues at all.
I do know that you need to be a little mechanically minded to do the install yourself . Maybe you got something wrong ? Who will ever know !!
Good luck with your standard wishbones .
All the best ,
Geoff

Here are boubi's pictures reposted as attachments.
It is a shame you can't/won't contact the company as I'm sure that more than a few of us here would like to know their response.
IMHO, most companies that sell specialized parts like this want to keep their customers happy as their customer base is relatively small to start with!
