neilw. thanks

Are the powerflex bushes a bit on the hard side, as far as comfort is concerned?

No I would'nt say so. I didnt notice any difference in the ride comfort once I'd put them in.

Did you fit it all yourself mate?

Yeh Its not easy thought.

Taking the piece of metal out the fit into is easy (think thats the wishbone)

Taking the old bushes out is easy (if you destroy them)

Getting the new ones in without a press is a complete B******

You found them a bastard to fit They should just pop in if greased up as its the weight and force of the car that keeps them in place, as they aint rubber and poly they should have just slipped in, mine did and without a press.

Yeah the ones i eventually got had a MK4 polo down on them whcih fitted perfect, think on venom if you put a 2001 polo, regardless if gti or not etc, it comes for the MK6, So beware!
