Hey everyone. I was hoping to find someone with actual first hand experience with the powerflex PFF44-202G bushing for the front lower control arm rear position. How is this bushing for nvh? Is there much of a difference compared to the OEM bushing in terms of nvh? Is it worth it to gain the 6mm anti lift offset and the increase of +-.33 degrees of caster? It seems like it’s the best design for how the adjustment functions. Thanks for any info!!

 

thats seem way too expensive. have you looked into whiteline's

I have them. I didn't notice a difference in NVH. I liked that I was able to adjust the orientation of the bushings after I installed them using the supplied wrench. They usually go on sale for ~$200 during the holidays.

 

Not even remotely in the same league in terms of quality. I see 10x the amount of issues with Whiteline products as Powerflex. Powerflex is the buy once cry once option.

 

what are the issues? I've race on the whiteline's with 295 tires and I dont really see any problems. All these offset bushings stretches and deforms the front bushing which is an inconvenience to me but other than that I had no issues

 

Not that guy and I'm sure there are good Whiteline products out there but holy moly I got some duds from them when I was working on my Subaru back in the day. I got a set of endlinks from them that had incorrectly pitched threads on the hardware they came with and I ended up needing an angle grinder to get them off. Rookie mistake for sure but how do you **** up hardware packaged with your product?

I have Powerflex engine mounts and I'm trying to get some front lower control arm bushes on atm (control arm not cooperating), sure they're expensive but they are quality IMO and have a lifetime guarantee. Unfortunately my control arms are not the same as the 7-9 (CT9A) style so I can't comment on the caster adjustment feature.

 

you sure the packaging wasnt opened? i never had issues like that. I do not use the supplied grease tho since they just dry up

 

I was definitely dumb enough to try and gorilla on a set of mismatched nuts onto my endlinks but not quite dumb enough to mix up the hardware. The sway bar they sent me also had a ton of paint come off during the installation which I thought was cheap af even if it doesn't really matter that much. I don't want to trash them endlessly though I just think Powerflex stuff is worth the money. I really like my engine mounts.

 

I dont know man. I got all the whiteline bushings. no problems. no bolts tho. I have the links and ball joints also. I had to change the boots a few times

 

On the topic of whiteline. I picked up the 26mm front and rear bars. The rear bar comes with some brackets for the bushing clamps. The brackets were welded together wrong and you couldnt put a nut and washer on due to it being too close to the wall on the bracket. They took care of it but it was a pain. Also, the paint doesnt stick for crap to the brackets. just from shipping it was chipped off in several locations. The welds on both of the sets, original and replacement looked like they were a project for a first time welding class. Bars themselves and bushings from them are always great. Dont know whats going on with them. Also on a weird note. I got their roll center correction kit and just sitting in my garage. With everything in my garage available to rodents. They were most interested in the ball joint boots from the roll center correction kit. Had to buy a new set of boots before putting a single mile on them. Sigh...
