uprated wishbone bushes - samass - 26-09-2012
ok so im trying to see what the different options are, and what they are all gunna cost...
i know that meyle hd 'bones are about £120 all in,
then poweflex bushes are about £100-110 for front and rears
then i know there are vibra technics, but i think they only do 'P' bushes (or so i've found) and at about £100 just for those are getting pricey...
and roller bearing ones, and they are about £200 a set if i'm right?
basically, im getting powerflex front bushes anyway as they were cheap, but just wondering if i'd missed any other options, and then of course, people's experience (and i know Ed an Mark (pompey306Mark) rate the HD ones)
thoughts?

Dont piss around with the powerflex as apparently there crap.
The vibratecnics ones arnt too bad
Rich W items are amazing and would recommend 100% and they replace all the bushes in the wishbone.
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - HDIkyle - 26-09-2012
I have the rear powerflex ones to fit but won't be using them for awhile
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - kernow_joe - 26-09-2012
I was in the same boat, now got a set of meyle hd on the way
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - spike2002 - 26-09-2012
What kind of warrenty do the meyle and richw ones have? Im picking some fully powerflexed ones up soon and i know that they have a lifetime warrenty.

I've always ran normal standard motorfactor wishbones / bushes and seem good enough to me. Its the P bushes that tend to get knackered the quickest in my experience.
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - puglove - 26-09-2012
Im running vibra technic P's and power flex front. Got to say im pretty impressed with the result
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - Matt - 26-09-2012
I'd definatley get powerflex.
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - Chris - 26-09-2012
Rich is very good with any issues, I had one of my bushes from him fail, replaced it FOC
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - samass - 28-09-2012
hmmmmmm
anyone else had any experience? i already have front powerflex ones on the way, so im pretty much just looking at the rears (P).. unless a stonking deal comes up on the roller bearing ones...
decisions decisions...

Roller bearing group buy?
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - lewisdmz - 28-09-2012
I could be tempted to go uprated if there was a group buy, not keen on roller bearing as everyone says they are harsh as fk for a daily driver. There was mention of Baker doing something in the gruop buy thread.
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - puglove - 28-09-2012
Get the vibra's sam you wont regret it
Oh and WTF are you putting it on O_o
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - Jenkosowls - 28-09-2012
go all out have no bushes and go rose jointed just ask rippthrough
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - Rippthrough - 28-09-2012
Rose joints ftw.
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - Ruan - 28-09-2012
I'd always be worried about false brinelling with roller bearing bushes?
They seem like a great idea for track based cars, which are re pumped with grease every session, but on the road, with salt, grit, grime, water and all the rest that goes in, I'd be concerned they'd get shagged very quick... When it's snowing out and you've driven through salt for a few hundred miles, I don't want to be outside, repacking my bearings with grease....

There was mention of Baker doing something in the gruop buy thread.There is something in the pipeline, but nothing confirmed as yet with regards to whether they'll be doing roller-bearings or something similar to the vibratechnic ones for the 'P-bush'.
I'm likely to be getting a set from them in the near future (fingers crossed, at least) so I'll feedback on how they are and get some prices if there is interest.

RE: uprated wishbone bushes - Ed Doe - 19-01-2013
Just to clarify, the only reason i've had any issues with my wishbones was a case of me not doing the pinch bolts up tight enough, and ovalling my OS hub... The wishbones themselves are still fine, but Im replacing the OS one completely as I'm concerned I've damaged the balljoint...
RE: uprated wishbone bushes - puglove - 19-01-2013
Ed fail
Not wish bone fail

Can't you just replace the ball joint?
