Budget Pu Bushes

Recommended Posts

AlexB

Hey guys found these on egay

 

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?it...Id=544413493010

 

Just Wondering if anyone has dealt with them? I bought them anyway as my car needs bushes to get through an mot so it the cheapest way even as a temp option but wondering what to expect tbh

 

And apologies if its been covered but the pu in budget pu is too short to search

Never heard of them I'm afraid.

 

In my experience, the only poly bushes that seem to work and last well are the Polysport and Polyrace ones that Rally Design sell.

 

Otherwise, I'd go for the proper OE Peugeot wishbone bush kit - four bushes and new nuts/bolts were a little over £20 when I last bought some.

I assumed from the name they wont be the best but as a temp measure hopefully they work i was just wondering if anyone had tried them? If not ill try and write up a little review i might have just found bargains

 

They do top mount inserts too for the 205

Given they are £12.50 and a genuine pug set are ~£20 - I'd go for the pug ones.

 

I appreciate you have now got these, but replacing bushes is a right pain in the A so it's not something I'd want to do more often than necessary and I'll bet these are rattling away after a few thousand miles.

Lat set of poly bushes I used were crap to start with and completely shot after a few miles of use.

Manufacturer: Deflex

 

Deflex aka Floflex.

 

Total rubbish imo. Tried to fit them to my Capri and they were such poor quality and bad fit I sent them abck for another set which were just as bad. The metal sleeve rattled around inside the bush as the hole was too big. The bushes didn't even nearly fit the arms. Spent a tiny bit more and got them from Rally design.

 

Don't mistake good value for poor quality and a cheap price.

Thats odd as a few of my friends have floflex in there cars ive seen one issue as you say the sleeve was loose they were replaced and the new set were allright my car came with flo flex arb mou ts up front too and they dont seem to have perished or worn

 

Didnt realise it was the same manufacturer for them maybe there a bit hit and miss some good some bad
