Car is now back from Power Engineering who fitted 20 new Powerflex polyurethane bushes.
Front Lower Wishbone Front Bush x2
Front Lower Wishbone Rear Bush x2
Front Upper Wishbone Bush x4
Front Anti Roll Bar Bush x2
Rear Trailing Arm Front Bush x2
Rear Track Control Arm Inner Bush x2
Rear Upper Wishbone Bush x4
Rear Anti Roll Bar Bush x2
They also did 4 wheel laser alignment, tracking and reduced the excessive negative camber. Got some new front tires while there to as the inside edge on mine was almost down to the wire.
It now feels very different, much more solid and planted at speed and like a go-kart round bends. It used to feel slightly twitchy as if it always wanted to change lanes with or without my consent! Not sure if that was down to the camber or the old bushes. Hands off the wheel at 90mph no problem (not that I\'ve done this of course!) Ride quality hasn\'t been affected much by the changes, bumpy roads at low speed it still feels just as jiggly as it always did. The sun is out so time for more road testing I think!
Hi Frankie,
Where are they, how much did it cost you?? bushes n fittings
:cheers
Hi Jeff luckily for me they didn\'t cost anything as I responded to this post http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=549987 :Giggle
And here are the prices, not including vat... not sure of costs for fitting and alignment.

Sounds good mate
Think I\'ll get that a go once my car\'s fixed. :yes
no nocking noises then ?
who can i ring to order a set of these on monday dude ?
Do we take it that you get all bushes changed for £297....Including labour? That sounds pretty good if true.
Just looked a bit closer......seems this is just the cost of the parts.........
wow 300 is cheap for the bushes...changing them over shouldnt be too diffucilt id imagine! especially when you have access to a hydraulic press and a blow torch both of which i do!
Glad to hear it worked out for you frankie!

No knocks, everything just feels tighter. Am not sure when they\'ll be available for sale, they want to know if there\'s any issues first. Give Tim at Powerflex a call on 01895 460033.
