Improved handling and safety for Alfa Romeo 159/Brera/Spider
Suspension bushes are some of the most highly stressed components fitted to a motorcar. They undergo enormous strains and in the most arduous of conditions with no maintenance or lubrication.
Standard factory bushes are manufactured from a rubber compound containing natural products, which deteriorate with age.
It becomes softer and more pliable, resisting the forces placed on it less and less. Therefore allowing more and more movement of suspension components and offering less and less control over the suspension geometry.
This in turn causes accelerated tyre wear, braking instability and poor handling.
Your car will benefit from the Powerflex bushes because of the more effective control of the suspension components to a much greater extent than standard rubber items.
By correctly engineering the polyurethane compound, bushes can be made 25-30% stiffer than new rubber items but with exactly the same noise absorbing properties.
• Powerflex for prolonged tyre life
• Powerflex for improved performance
• Powerflex for increased safety
