What you will notice
Imprecise handling, uneven tyre wear and braking instability are common symptoms of soft, ageing or failing rubber bushes. Powerflex polyurethane bushes cure these problems by controlling flex where it matters most, so your suspension geometry stays consistent and your tyres maintain better contact with the road.
