Powerflex rear beam bushes or PMS bearing kit?

[Mini182]

Just wondering what people would recommend for a track car?

I am swaying towards the powerflex black series at the moment.

Also does anyone know the cheapest place to buy the bushes?

I have the bearing kit fitted to mine. Good bit of kit and does exactly what it should do. I can't see any reason why the powerflex bushes wouldn't work either tbh. Main thing to look for is that the stainless steel insert doesn't eat into the bush material itself and allow movement.

Euro Car parts.

My main concern with the bearing kit is they would need the bearing changed regularly as they will be exposed to the elements.

Depends how often you use the car tbh. If you use it all year round, the pms kit isn't for you unless your going to religiously clean and lubricate the spherical bearings. That's what I do with all the spherical bearings on mine.

Sorry to dig up an old thread but what is your general maintenance to clean and lubricate, please?

I used to use wd40 as a lubricant and wipe off the excess with a cloth mate.

Cheers @NorthloopCup I have spherical bearings on my bump steer kit and will add others later down the line and want to keep them in the best of health
