Anyone fitted Ktec lower engine mount or Powerflex fr. arm bushes?

[hkka]

I am wondering if anyone fitted the Ktec UPRATED LOWER ENGINE MOUNT BUSHES or the Powerflex Wishbone or anti-roll bar bushes?

Are they good?

i m thinking of fdoing this two any one?

seems that the mounting of these bushes causes stress on the other mounts; bad news.

also vibrations when at idle will vbrate thus being uncomfortable.

Better stick to stock , change more often. Will be cheaper

the antiroll bar bushes should be okay ; nothing to do with enginemounts

ARB bushes squeak apparently... Mega annoying.

Powerflex antiroll bar bushes are fecking annoying they squeek like mad, the lower engine mount is good but had only lasted 2 years on my car its ready for replacement now - also it squeeks when you pull away somtimes.

I have them fitted. They do cause a fair bit more vibrations!! But they do the job i got them for. I dont think that they are worth the amount that i payed for them! really easy to fit though!! I havent noticed any squeeks. but my cat is a bit minced the now!

I fitted Powerflex on the suspension arm, a good improvement. But the design of the bushes are different with original suspension arm, especially the metal tube for the bushes. Accuracy is important.

Due to the knocking (during braking or de-accelerate) problem, I had replaced by a new suspension arm few months ago. Problem solved. I am not sure what exactly caused the problem. Maybe the metal tube hit the chassis. Therefore, I still have a set of Powerflex wishbone if anyone is interest.

I had problem fitting the anti-roll bar cos the inner diameter for the bushes is slightly smaller than the original, which caused problem. I refund it at the end plus email Powerflex to check.

I got mine from K-tec.

Keep the standard engine mount, they're soft for a reason.
