Power flex or OEM ARB bushes

[stringbag]

Need new ARB bushes on my 2012 R60 SD.
Front and rear.
Any views on power flex vs OEM? It’s a standard car otherwise.

Not on a Mini - no. But I just had the powerflex put on my Jag as the OEM ones were shot.

Takes some getting used to, much more road feel which can be interptreted as a rough-ride. But I don't like soggy suspension. I wasn't sure at first, but after a few weeks, it was fine.

Thanks. I need to do mine as I have an occasional clunk from the rear. Only notice it driving slowly over uneven surface. Could be the links, control arm or even shock top mount (the front are cracked...) I suppose but the anti roll bar bushes look worn and the rest look fine so will start there.
Mini are about £15, poweflex about £30 for the pair so not much in it and looks like an easy job.

IIRC you will need to partly drop the rear beam but there is enough length on the bolts to not have to fully drop it.
