Now then Chaps
wishbone bushes...Any pointers please , i've had a look on RPD & can't seem to spot any. Just want a near as OE , I've been looking at the powerflex ones on the bay, At 207 quid, are these the only ones out there., Gearbox is coming out in a few week, So i was gonna use the chance to sort the anti roll ba bushes out & press new bushes in the wishbones.

Marcus.

I've used Strongflex as an alternative to Powerflex in the past. For road use, I recommend going with their Red series bushings, as they're designed for daily driving comfort. If you're planning more track-focused driving, however, the Yellow series would be the better choice.

I'm a bit out of touch with prices these days, but they were always half the price of Powerflex - https://strongflexuk.com/

If you get stuck on diameter, drop me a pm and I can help with that. I'll be about later in the evenings.

Anti-roll bar bushes are still available from Renault.

Thanks pal, i'll check them out, yeah just the road use set i'm gonna be looking at. I'm glad you've replied to my comment, as i'm gonna want a few pointers on pulling the box out, I'm going down the dropping half the subframe route. So i'll be picking ya brains in a couple of week if that's ok . Thanks again.

I am told powerflex don’t make the purple ones for wishbones anymore as they weren’t lasting.

So your option (for PF atleast) would be black. Which you may find too harsh for a road car. They still do purple for the arb.

@Mr Underhill talks sense.

I’ve got some genuine Renault OEM ones removed from a brand new set somewhere in the garage.

Might be an option if you don’t want the powerflex route

Febi bilstein if you want oem style. Autodoc prob best bet.

Lads a massive thanks for you help/input...it means alot honestly.

Plees i might just grab them off ya's pal, Seen as your just around the corner from me, And Plees my brass bushes landed this morning, I'll stick them in when i drop the gear box & run it down to northloop to fit a selector seal in it. And Mr Underhill cheers again Sir.

Just one more thing chaps i'm gonna pull the box out by droppin half the sub frame, i know i use a big jack, which i have,&get the car up high, iv'e got a load of big wooden blocks for that ........ do i have to remove the top end of the engine mount totally ? And what about the power steering rack, whats the score with that ? ie does that need whipping out the way . Subframe bolts and retainer nuts are all new, so i'm ok on that feckin ball ache front. just after a few little pointers on what needs to be whipped off, ie exhuast & s**t.
