Improved handling and safety for Alfa Romeo Mito
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.

This insert is made in Yellow 70A durometer material for increased transmission mount longevity and performance on Petrol or tuned Diesel engines. Designed to fill the voiding in the OE rubber mount, it smooths out gear changes and throttle application by stiffening and supporting the often perished rubber, a common failure on tuned vehicles.
This supports a more precise and settled transmission response during acceleration and deceleration. This new part combines perfectly with our other Upper Gearbox Mounts and Lower Gearbox Mounts for greater engine stability. A small increase in NVH, usually at idle, should be expected when stiffening the connecting mount between the engine/transmission and chassis. The harder the material used, the greater the NVH transmitted.
