powerflex mod

Hi fitting powerflex bushes to new wishbones and hear of a mod to stop the bushes being pushed out under breaking has anyone got photos or info of how to do this mod?
Thanks Jon

never heard of the bushes being pushed out under braking

It took fourteen elephants and a double-decker bus on top of mine to get them in, so I don't think jumping on the anchors is going to get them to come out

Yes I had this problem but not from breaking it was from running the kerbs too hard at silverstone (its the best way), I pressed it back into the right spot and then squashed the steel clamp together a bit. If it happens again I will try and get some second hand alfa 155/146 etc wishbones, they had an aluminium sleeve instead of the fiat pressed steel sleeve. Its the shape of the inner diameter of the pressed steel item that allows the bush to push through - but you have to be going some to move them.

What Barbz did to my wishbones was drill and tap a small hole in the front bush mounting point, you can then fit a washer and bolt on the end of the front bush to prevent it slipping off the wishbone.

Thats the one jimbo, i'm getting a knocking on accelerating and brakeing, and can see that the front bush on the drivers side wishbone is being pushed out! i'm hopeing that's causeing it, i'm overhauling the suspension and fitting new wishbones with poybushes and wanted to know how to do the mod, any photos would be still be great! so i can see exactly where to put the bolt, size of washer etc!

The bolt goes dead centre in the forward bush mounting point (the metal bit you push the poly bush on to on the wishbone) the washer is large enough to cover the end of the poly bush.
Barbz used an allen head bolt to do this conversion.

Pictures are a bit impossible with the wishbones on the car

Not exactly the right angle but that's the best one I have saved.

Cheers guys that does help!
