[len_beach]

Is this a price for 1 side or both? eBay is £90 yet these are £50.

That doesn't make sense it says 1 x Powerflex Bushes! < Bushes as plural meaning more than 1! So I would say its 1 x Powerflex bushes kit so you get both

But there's 4 in total :rasp:

Call them, they're quite helpful!

I'd say thats just for one side looking at the way its written!

There not sure if its old style or new style, getting back to me on Monday. It is a full set they have though of whatever type, powerflex don't sell individual apparently.

If he comes back there old style there advertising they should honour that price as it cross references to powerflex site as new type, he couldn't confirm if he could do that but if it turns out there the old type he could atleast do some discount.

So thats a full set for both wishbones, or just the one?

Just for ref don't get the old syle! the new bush is Black with zinc plated metal bushing and are none weld, the metal parts are a much thicker material, not like the old weld in pieces made from 1mm stainless steel.

Regards Russ......

Yeah cheers mate I know this, there are still a lot of company's with stock of old. The old sleeve isn't stainless btw it's carbon as it welds to the arms and the new style should be welded IMO as theres room for the arm to move forward and back even though they are a press fit.

I will be welding them in and maybe having them machined so you can run even more caster.

 

[bozothenutter]

Black is a LOT harder than purple though...

Good find. I've just ordered some. It's quite clearly labelled as the full kit so that's what I'm expecting.

Yes, I was'nt sure what the sleave was made of tbh, looking at the new kit I thought it had a shoulder as well to stop movement along with 2 washers that go in between the arms and subframe mounting point, I honestly did'nt look to closely as Dan was fitting them, just looking at the mangled miss shaped bitsnof carbon that were left.
The castor idea looks a good one.

They are a lot sturdier and you would expect them not to move but a little knock on a kerb and they will shift.

I have yet to see the new ones in person yet. They look to have 10mm's worth of room that could be machined giving you bottom arms like the cup racers run.

Then they get returned! That part number is for the new style so if they send me something else then they are in the wrong.

 

[Edges]

Even if they are the old ones, it's not that bad is it??

 

[5678]

The old ones are difficult to fit, require welding and seem to get a mixed report on durability.

 

[not normal dan]

The old ones difficult to fit? What's hard about a couple of spot welds exactly?

From what I've read on here a lot of folk have been struggling to get the black ones in place on the car once there fitted to the wishbones!

 

[eon172]

Interested to know which ones they turn out to be, ...finger is on the buy button

 

[MG cup]

They are the wrong ones after calling again this morning. Kam are getting back to me on there new price for the black version today.

That price isn't the best I have seen for the old style and they are not hard to fit, just make sure its more than a tack weld you put on and weld it 70% of the way round to stop them buckling .

 

[eon172]

Oh well, guess it was a long shot. Thanks for following up

 

[Edges]

I've heard people say new ones need a bit of welding too? And I'll look forward to see the price difference for new ones!

Bugger!

I've read this too and tbh I think I'd still do it just invade it decides to eat me subframe.

 

[5678]

He's just refunded me for mine explaining they are the old purple ones. Was worth a shot!

Cheapest I've seen then is £90ish with Larkspeed.

 

[Striver]

Are they not £62.50 at Ktec? Are am I confused? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1199&catid=&appid=2&pic=4

EDIT: Nevermind, these are the purple ones.

I'd be interested to know whether the new black ones need welding, if not I'll use them on the road.

 

[Edges]

I've just ordered new black ones from kam racing.. £80. Cheaper than eBay or anywhere else I've seen
