Alfa Giulietta Rear Trailing Arm Bush Kit (2 pieces) by Powerflex
There's a misconception that polyurethane bushes are only for performance cars and their sole purpose is to improve handling at high speeds.
While one of the benefits is indeed improved handling, polyurethane bushes are also often used as problem solvers and fitted to normal road vehicles to fix inherent weaknesses in the vehicle's standard suspension system.
One such model is the Alfa Romeo Giulietta 940 (2010-2020) and the focus of this week's newsletter is the problematic rear trailing arm bushes.
As the vehicles age and accumulate mileage, the rubber bushes deteriorate, resulting in increased rear-end squat and movement in the axle and excessive tyre wear.
The solution is PFR1-1010 Rear Trailing Arm to Chassis Bush. Originally released in 2017, this part has proven extremely popular and is now the go-to replacement for many Alfa Romeo specialists.
Since the bushes are not available to buy separately from Alfa Romeo, replacing the entire OE trailing arm is a costly and labour-intensive exercise, with a new trailing arm alone costing approximately £400 each.
PFR1-1010 is made in signature Purple 80ShA material and features CNC-machined adaptors and a freely rotating sleeve design to effectively mitigate the torsional twist issue commonly found in the OE bush. This upgrade not only prevents bush failure, but also enhances performance, reliability, and longevity while presenting great value over purchasing an entirely new trailing arm.
For peace of mind and as a commitment to being a future-proofing problem solver, this part is backed by industry-leading Lifetime Warranty.
