PowerFlex Bushings

[ericbendler]

Interesting that I can't find a direct thread on these powerflex bushings.

Does anyone out there use them?

Does anyone have an opinion here or there?

Just wondering cause I am close to having this car running right, and I would hate to miss out on these exciting looking parts.

"eliminate shaking", "install yourself with no machine press", "better than urethane", "last forever"

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

It turns out that the flexane released a bit from the rubber bushings. There isn't really a problem as the m5 thrust bushings are still ok. That captured flexane ended up much softer than needed. I'd suggest using the e34 m5 thrust bushings.
