Experience with Powerflex LCAB?

[77Targa0912]

In the middle of gathering the parts to rebuild my front suspension and I’m at a middle ground between Uro HD $35 and Powerflex $75. I’ve used Powerflex street bushings on a BMW in the past and was very satisfied. Powerflex offers Heritage (Black) bushings that have caught my eye.

Car will be 100% street and touring.

Has anyone used them and what was your experience with installation and NVH?

i have them in my '87 that I installed a few years back along with the t-bar units too. I had powder coated my cars front arms and didn't mask off the area they touch. I'm not sure is this is the reason, but my squeaked for some time and then just stopped one day. Since then, they have been perfect.

Thanks you! I plan to order them tomorrow. Do you mean the rear spring plate bushings? Any vibration or harshness that’s annoying?

I have SuperPro bushes on my front arms installed by the PO. Apparently the shop that did the work used a set of reconditioned arms and powdered coated them even inside the bores where the bushes were pressed into. This, combined with very little of what looked with white grease, meant that the front suspension creaked and had loads of striction in the arms. The solution was to pull the arms, remove the bushes, grind away the powder coating and reassemble things with loads of the correct grease.

My 2.4 T has poweflex heritage front and rear, installed 2years ago.
I couldn't be happier.
Absolutely no squeaks and very confortable drive in the city traffic and on spirited driving days.
Don't overthink, get them and I'm sure you will be ok

I got the elephant rubber ones a few years back and am very satisfied. No squeaks, Delrin before, lots of noise.
