Powerfex bushes?

[Sabz86]

My boyfriend has just broken his top engine mount/bush on his 2001 S60 T5.

Are the powerflex solid bushes any good? Has any one used them and can comment on them?

Also where near Chelmsford can we pick one up today?

Thanks Sabz

They are ok depending on the design of your mounts. If you just do the top ones, it could cause extra stress and wear on the other mounts. It also stiffens the movement up which can sometimes cause more vibration in the car.

Just go with the standard one, a lot of people report on hugely increased vibration all through the car.

Powerflex have a LOT less flexibility than normal rubber bushes - they feel pretty-much solid in comparison.

So unless you're going for a track-spec car, I wouldn't...
