jlumba81 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I was looking around for polyurethane bushings for another car and noticed powerflex has a caterham application. Just thought I'd post it in case anyone is looking to upgrade or replace their bushings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klasik-69 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Let me caution you and anyone else thinking of polyurethane bushings. I used them on my 2007 Z06 and many others in our Corvette club installed them as well. We started having failures in as little as 3 years. Some lasted up to 5 years. I pulled my shock bushings off before they failed but could see after 3 years they were brittle and ready to go. We seem to have the failure from different manufacturers and suppliers so there didn't seem to be a common source. I loved them when new but need to have something last a little longer and be more reliable, especially on the track hitting speeds of 160 or more. Be careful ! Maybe the British or Germans make a superior urethane bushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
