had them for a while

no noise what so ever.

turner motorsports makes a spherical (solid) rtab that also makes no noise and actually makes the rear end feel that much more stable

THANX for sharing your experience with POWERFLEX RTABs :beer: Very timely as I'm having mine fitted today :thumbs:
That should wind-up a few Wan-a-be Racers on here :whistle:

Yeah, him saying that moving to a solid RTAB makes the rear end feel that much more stable with no noise must really help your max power inspired powerflex quest :thumbs:

Of course, if you prefer the rear toe to change under load then crack on with your brightly coloured plastic tat, you can probably find some bright purple coolant hoses too if you want :blalalala:

Bollocks, beaten to it

It's for the sensitive souls :gayfight: amongst us

lol, shimmy won't be impressed.

Hope those bushes work out for you anyway and don't fail as quickly as some of theirs have been known too after a couple of weeks

Wrong bushes to the ones I'm having fitted but that's a shocking sight never the less. Was that on a road car ? was it Tracked extensively ? and were these front/lower wishbone rear bushes fitted correctly ? I've seen some bods hammer these On :banghead: ( instead of gently pressing them in using a proper press) damaging them in the process, only to blame POWERFLEX for poor quality afterwards :clown:

No idea on fitting matey, not my car, they were on the car for 2 weeks apparently.

[7.77]

mine fitted 1 week before (all the bushes), then ejected with a hard braking during a trackday @ spa !

all the bushes were removed, and replaced by oem (with limiter for the rear)

the bill: 2 x entire set of bushes + 2 x .....hours :banghead:
