306 Stage 2 HDi Progress/Project.

I'd suggest getting powerflex p-bushes tbh bud, they come with 0.5 degrees of camber already dialled in and make a huge difference to how the front end feels, takes all the slop out of the bush assembly. If the current ones have only lasted 3 months i shouldn't think the replacement set will fair any better.

Did you have to shave the back of your round bushes (giggidy) or have they changed the design so they fit properly?

Yeah bud these are the updated ones, they fit in nice and flush and squeeze into the subframe nicely! I also have the old ones here and they would have been a nightmare...

The p bushes I fitted are the peugeot partner ones (nice solid looking ones) but I think the premature failure is partly to do with my engine mount being done, aswell as the angle I had them fitted at being off perhaps. My rash driving probably tipped them over the edge too.

With all other bushes replaced bar those p bushes, I should think a new set at the right angle will last a bit longer. I will soon see though, fingers crossed

Theres a thread I started about these...

Dont mean to gloat but that new design is due to me sending a LOT of emails, photos dimensions etc and weeks of working with Powerflex to redesign those front bushes...should find they fit wonderfully easy now, compared to an absolute bitch or needing to cut them.

If you have the old design email Pflex and they will send you the updated design.

And if you cant afford powerflex P bushes, get the late berlingo ones...100x better than the 306 sloppy design

Oh and for your engine cover, try these:

My engine cover is on bud, I have m6 threaded bar, nuts, washers and wingnuts. Id recommend it aswell as your idea, as mine doesnt rattle off anything or vibrate

And already have both the new front wishbone bushes from powerflex (thanks for the info on them, they've made my lift a lot easier) and the berlingo/partner p bushes. Hoping as said they last a lot longer this time round.

FYI it's castor they add, not camber /pedantic

Haha I wouldn't know, powerflex ones are out of my budget for now lol
