These bushes are designed to fit genuine control arms. If non genuine arms are fitted and you find the stainless steel sleeve not to fit onto the wishbone, please contact us with dimensions of the wishbone pin as you will require modified sleeves. PFF1-802 kit comes with different sized rings. Please select the correct ring depending on the rear bracket fitted. Use the smaller ring (802b) with the aluminium bracket and 802c with the pressed steel bracket. It is only possible to fit these bushes after removing the arms from the car. For arms fitted with the pressed steel rear bracket, the rubber bush may need to be burned out using a blowtorch, firstly and then the bracket cleaned thoroughly to ensure a good surface. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF LOCTITE 648 OR 848 TO SECURE CENTRE SLEEVE TO ARM

Powerflex Front Lower Wishbone Rear Bush for Alfa Romeo 146

Polyurethane has been with us as a specialised plastic for some thirty years. However recent advances have now made it possible to engineer very special properties into this exciting material. Suspension bushes are some of the most highly stressed components fitted to a motor car. They undergo enormous strains and in the most arduous of conditions with no maintenance or lubrication.

The material they are manufactured from is a rubber compound containing natural products which deteriorate with age. It becomes softer and more pliable, resisting the forces placed on it less and less. Therefore allowing more and more movement of suspension components and offering less and less control over the suspension geometry.

This in turn causes accelerated tyre wear, braking instability and poor handling. This is the single biggest reason you can instantly tell the difference driving a three year old car compared to a showroom new one. However even new cars will benefit from POWERFLEX bushes because of their superior design they offer much more effective control of the suspension components to a much greater extent than normal rubber items.

With the technological advances in this material it has been possible to overcome the common problem associated with harder bushes which is increased noise. By correctly engineering the polyurethane compound, bushes can be made 25-30% stiffer than new rubber items but with exactly the same noise absorbing properties. POWERFLEX bushes make sense.
