Tip for all hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts.


"Because I was constantly dealing with torn control arm bushings, Powerflex bushings were installed today. An improved road handling was immediately noticeable (not quite like a go-kart, as the company likes to claim, but it's definitely in the right direction)."

Actually, anyone can do the pressing themselves. You just need a vise and an old wheel bearing.
Den Innerring des alten Radlagers auf die Querlenkerbuchse den äusseren Ring des Radlagers auf die andere Seite zu der Die Buchse rausgedrückt werden soll. Geht 1a.
The Powerflex socket was really easy to install; just clip it in and push it in.

The durability is supposed to be significantly better (well, I'll see icon_smile.gif).

It took me about 1 hour to complete both sides.
