172 rear beam bush question

[vjs]

Just a short question if it is available to upgrade rear beam bush to some stiffer compound, maybe poly bushing or bearing setup or some other?
Pics attached to have a view on what I mean
Any inputs, photos or helpful links would be appreciated.

I think Pure Motorsport do rose joints.

As above, Pure Motorsport solid bearing kit. I have it myself, it is an excellent upgrade that doesn't cost that much really so do it. You may also wish to consider the gusset kit for the rear to but its not essential. That is all.

Someone I saw here on board have installed a a spherical bearings. Would it be a solution?

Thanks for an experience shared. I saw on Pure Motorsport page they sell same spherical bearing upgrade kit for a wishbone. Should it be I would interested in too? Or I should go with powerflex poly bushing on a wishbones?

 

[Mr R.]

If its a road car then the poly bushes are enough.

Yes it is a road car. Thank You.

Bought them.
Just one more question: Is it worth to buy top mount and strut brace package:

[Mr R.]

If i was buying top mounts then it would be that kit, your money and your choice mate.

​With the PMS kit you can just buy the bits that wear out if needed.

Renaultsport 'did' offer a teflon bush for the rear beam. Not sure on pricing/availability compared to the pms spherical bearing kit though.

maybe we could get powerflex to do one? sort of a middle ground 'tween standard and the pure ones?

Won't it be to stiff in front with these top mounts +powerflex bushings in allover the front as I am going with a eibach sportlines and koni yellow shocks set?

 

[Mr R.]

I have Spax coilovers and poly bushed front suspension but im using Renault top mounts.

My shocks are damping adjustable so i can make it softer if needed, but yes it might be.

If it bothers you then why care you looking at the PMS stuff? I dont think the PMS top mounts will make it any stiffer.

​Just buy standard Renault bits.
