Powerflex Bushes/Σινεμπλόκ Powerflex

Suspension bushes/σινεμπλόκ are used where 2 suspension components move in relation to each other. For example the tops and bottoms of shock absorbers/dampers and between the chassis and the wishbones.

Standard suspension bushes are designed to insulate the driver as much as possible from the noise, vibration and harshness of the road and engine while still allowing the suspension geometry to stay within acceptable tolerances (example of Mazda 3 suspension tolerances) when the car is used on the road.

Because of these design criteria.....

1. Noise insulation

2. Vibration insulation

3. Harshness insulation

4. Keeping alignment with acceptable tolerances

....suspension bushes/σινεμπλόκ fitted to cars as standard can leave a lot of room for improvement if you want your car to perform at a higher level than the average driver.

To give some examples.

1. You have fitted wider and stickier tyres to your car, for example Toyo R888, your suspension will be put under more load than the designer of the suspension bush imagined which means suspension alignment could be outside of factory tolerances.

Powerflex suspension bushes/σινεμπλόκ are designed specifically for cars which have been modified. For example Powerflex wishbone bushes are much more resistant to load than the original bushes meaning your suspension/αναρτήσεις will stay within factory tolerances even when you fit wider stickier tyres and/or performance suspension.

2. You have modified your engine to make more power and torque. Your engine will now been putting more force through the engine mounts than before, especially during aggressive standing starts. More force means more movement which could be bad for many components connected to the engine.

For example exhaust joints are amongst the first to suffer with leakage due to extra engine movement. AC pipes are vulnerable to excess engine movement, gearbox mounts will also be placed under extra stress if the engine is moving more.

Clutch/συμπλέκτες engagement can also become softer if the engine is moving more which can lead to less smooth gear changes.

Powerflex engine mounts are designed for modified cars where the engine is putting more force through the engine mounts. Powerflex engine mounts will keep engine movements down even when the engine is making more power than standard.

Okay, we have established some of the benefits of fitting Powerflex suspension bushes/σινεμπλόκ to your car but what about the downsides.

Because Powerflex suspension bushes are made from a more rigid material than the standard bushes more sound, vibration and harshness will reach the drivers seat. However Powerflex has chosen the compounds of their bushes carefully which means the negative aspects will be kept to a minimum while performance will be a step above that of the standard bushes.

If you are driver who is simply looking for a set of replacement bushes then a set of OEM bushes from Optimal may be more suitable.

However if your car is modified, or if you demand a lot from your car or if you have encountered problems like uneven tyre wear then Powerflex will help keep your car within the tolerances specified by the factory even if you have modified the car.

All Powerflex bushes /σινεμπλόκ come with fitting instruction and all Powerflex bushes come with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing and material defects.
