Got any pics? I've got some front ARB mounting bushes from Powerflex sitting at home for an MY00 and was going to get round to seeing if they fit on my STi 7.....

Powerflex maintain that the suspension bushing on the MY01 is the same as previous models - so far so good? When supplied with the front ARB Bushes (not end links) was surprised to see that the PF bush was almost half the size - managed to fit - (Almost too easily) PF say this is correct - Falkland and I say incorrect - bracket is now too large and bush skews 10% on ARB during driving (although does not dislocate) - the bracket is apparently larger than previous models....Can anyone shed any light onto this matter....is there some anomally with the 2001 car that these guys have missed

Ps Although concerned with this particular part, I have recently uprated other parts of the suspension with Powerflex Bushes and am most impressed with the quality and performance. I would also recommend their products to anyone as part of an existing upgrade or just as OEM replacements.

Problem solved - Powerflex resupplied the correct bushes - incorrectly boxed the first time around !

Ewan,

Have you got the part number for the new bushes they supplied?

Ta,

Matt,
Bushes on the front had no idents moulded in but the part no. from the web site was PFF69-105-19. They are almost twice the size as the rears, but slightly different profile.

Ps. With the first bush they sent it was so small compared to the original that I only had to slacken one bolt on the clamp in order to fit. With the replacement, the sub frame had to come off in order to get to the whole clamp.(Half an hour's work to get to a five minute job!!)
