powerflex rear beam bushes

[bozothenutter]

Hi,
Anybody fit hese yet?
Are they easy to fit, ie drop the beam a bit and replace? (or should the beam come off completely?)

 

[scooby-93]

i was going to but then decided to go for the puremotorsport rear beam bush kit

 

[Mar172]

Just drop the beam down , on mine I had to press the old one out as the sleeve was stuck solid and press the new ones back in

what sort of press did you use?

These are the only bushes i have not done yet and I'm in two minds to do them as i don't know if they will make much difference.

have a quick lever on yours with a decent size bar and see how much the beam will move side to side, it's quite scary how much movement you sometimes get in them!!

 

[MarcB]

Im thinking as i have the following bushes and suspensions set up it might be worth it.

Bottom Arm - Powerflex Purple
ARB Inner - Powerflex Purple
ARB Outer - Powerflex Purple
Steering Rack - Powerflex Black
Rear Shock Upper Bush - Powerflex Purple
Dogbone - Powerflex Purple
AST Solid Top Mounts
New Rear Shocks - Trophy Sachs
Refurbished Front Shocks - Trophy Sachs

worth changing, especially as you've done everything else. can only make the rear end better.

Got a link to these? The pure kit is only £75 but requires welding

Surprisingly cheap!

 

[bozothenutter]

i'm doing the front completely in purple as I have the rollcentre kit...makes sense to do the rear aswell....pure ones are a bit to hardcore for me as the car is a daily (yes I know the rollcentre kit makes no sense then either....man logic I guess)

 

[dann2707]

Ahh it's £34 each, that is why it's so cheap. Obviously you require two so it's double the price.

Might leave it for now.

I run the pms rear bearing kit on my car and tbh I'm not entirely sure you'd tell the difference between that and the powerflex rear beam bushes.
The roll centre kit however is noticeable EVERY time you drive the car. Man logic makes sense to me sudesh!

Give your local ECP a call and tell them you want a rear beam bush kit.
I have the black series on my car.

read what it says on the box:wink:

 

[Mr R.]

Must be, im sure a payed £50 ish for my kit.

 

[dann2707]

Aye! So what I said originally was correct. You need two of the £31 sets.

 

[Mr R.]

You buy it as a kit, the box contains a pair of bushes and the alloy sleeves.

Who the hell would want to buy just one bush.

 

[bloke]

says on pack...2 in this pack

 

[Mar172]

I think I payed around £65 for my pair of purple power flex ream beam bush kit of ebay

 

[MarcB]

It comes as a kit (2 Bushes In The Box)
Here is the ECP part number and the OE power flex number.
I was also £2 out and its £33 all i get mine for

Staff Sales are always the best, i tried to inter branch transfer them and they got nulled so they are on direct order.

 

[bloke]

will see what they can do on friday, can't belive the price i get dephasers for off them though!!

 

[MarcB]

Not priced a dephaser from them as i buy all that genuine renault.

As said i have bought all my bushes from work and i have these on order so I'm guessing the car will handle amazing.

 

[bloke]

dephaser is genuine, don't think that's the sort of thing you would be able to get spurious? doesn't come in renault box but other than that is identical.
