Thanks for your prompt replies! I googled Power Flex, and they have suspension goodies for the Pug. Does the Pug & Xsara share suspension bits?Cheers |

I just assumed that the standard bushes were made of rubber- thus the low mileage Xsara's problem would return after more low mileage! I used Neoprene ( pretty sure) in my Commodore, and it changed the car! |

If they are put in right and aren't twisted when you tighten them the standard ones are good for 60,000 miles.________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

As said std one's are much better than Powerflex, I think the name gives it away somewhat, I know in 205 espeically the bush's don;t last long at all and are a fair amount softer than std.There are Group N one's (Not cheap) or Rich W roller bearing type which are a huge leap foward ________________________________________ 306 Rallye Sptint/Race Car, 205 CTI 1.9 8v to name a fewRoad, Track and Race/Rally car preparation to your personal requirements, Full Workshop & Diagnostic Facilities New and Second parts, from Plugs to Turbo's We now also carry out Routine Servicing www.pugracing.com & FB Page, https://www.facebook.com/PugRacing Ebay; http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Pug-Racing-Shop 2012/2013/2014/2019 Class Winners at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb & Joint overall, Class record too along the way, |

They are a little expensive but Rich_W does solid roller bearing ones. Now they really will transform the car. I cannot recommend them enough.________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |
