Re: Actually OEM Rear Bushings are fluid filled. Posted by saabsince 93b [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Actually OEM Rear Bushings are fluid filled., RegQ, Mon, 23 Aug 2010 08:23:57 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
"Hollow with fluid" I cannot see how that is possible. Mine were just plain rubber. There were no cavities either with fluid or not. Do you have more information?
I love the way the Powerflex feels. At this stage I would never go back. My Aero is already a bit stiff anyway and this is a GREAT improvement to have this stiffness.
I will have to say that our roads are not bad as far as roughness in southern CA. Our mountain roads are well paved and maintained......the freeways can have some high speed roughness, but that is just vibration etc...
Also I want my Aeros stiffer than it was....which is what I now have. Replacing the lateral arm bushings with OEM and the Powerflex in the trailing arm has made my Aero a NEW car and better than it has been in the almost 10 years I have owned it. The rear shocks are Koni with 1" spacers to get the ride height back where it should be.
I also put Koni struts at the front. And I just LOVE the way it all works.
What I notice most is the stablity on quick steering transitions. If you do a tire warmup maneuver ....sawing the wheel back and forth it is very solid and responsive. With the old bushings it was scary.
