What's in the kit exactly?I rebuilt mine with Meyle HD P-bushes, Delphi top hat bushes and OEM ball joints, cost me £20 for two, £30 for four and £30 for two respectively. Just a shame they're a cnut to remove and replace  ________________________________________ Bye bye Sundance Kid |

They don't wear out like the rubber ones (as long as you keep greasing them) they ONLY move up and down so the steering is as precise as possible. They aren't adversely affected by lowering like rubber ones are. They are just better. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |

Rich's kit uses roller bearings, no rubber/polyurethane whatsoever, takes all the play out of the bushes.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Powerflex should say it all (Flex), Worse than std, the rear Bush's should be from Vibra Techinc's as they do the 106 ones which work well on my mates Rally car but at that price it's worth getting the Roller bearing ones as it will transform the front end________________________________________ 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, |

Forget the Peugeot Sport stuff. Everything was made at least 5 years ago now and some components are getting quite rare (and expensive) now.Special Tuning want £273 for a set of bushes (if they can still source them.) There are better options out there anyway. I run Rich W's roller bearing bushes and can confirm they are excellent and transform the feel of the front end. ________________________________________ Rich |
