Default Powerflex rear end

I plan to do a full rear end Powerflex bush update.


Has anyone done this who can comment on the results.


I plan to use the items below, best price I can see so far is £204


PFR27-207, PFR27-208-17, PFR27-209, PFR27-210


I will need to check that my rear ARB is actually 17mm first.

I have all the poly bushes in the rear that powerflex makes. While it was apart also replaced all the diff mount and control arm bushes with new stock parts and replaced the shocks.

Not a completely fair comparison since I did all the other things at the same time, but the feel of the car is worlds better now, and no more rattles, squeaks or groans.

My XJR has powerflex front and rear. I would first do the front if you haven't. More improvement to be had up there and it seems to go quicker. Good time to do your ball joints and track rod ends as well. I plan to do mine front end this fall then the rear in the spring. Just need to get my parts car control arms off so I can start.

I had mine powerflexed a few years ago. It tightened it up nicely as I had a very slight corkscrewing when the rear end was light whilst cornering. After the bushes were changed I tried the same stretch of road and it felt nicely planted.
