Powerflex dogbone bushes first impressions
« on: 26 September 2012, 18:32 »
Sorry for making this thread but i cant find what i need to know  :embarrassed:

Im going to be buying the yellow bushes from either awesome or ebay

I don't want it to vibratey (is that a word?) so I'm only going to put in 1 bush but i don't know which, big or small ?

I had them and hated them. I bought the red tdi ones in the end which are supposedly softer and even then im only using half.

aup mate, changed both bushes on mine the one that has the bolt going though it which goes into gear box, then the big bush which is closer to the subframe, it makes a fair bit of vibration but makes it alot better when it comes to driving it hard as i found the stanard ones too soft. if you only changed the small bush i dont think you would notice any diffrence to be honest mate.

Youll like the more positive gear change but I didnt feel it was worth the extra vibration.

Too much  :lipsrsealed: IIRC £80 for the complete dogbone - you cant buy the bushes separate

The THS dogbone mount is also supposed to be good  :smiley:

The one that you can just about see when its all bolted back into the car, it looks better with the red showing a little bit :grin:

As said, R32 sounds the best if you have the money but for 80 quid I think id just leave it alone  :smiley:
