FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this kit?

The primary benefit is significantly improved suspension and steering feedback, leading to sharper handling and a more connected driving experience.

Can I install this kit myself?

Installation requires mechanical knowledge and specialized tools. We recommend professional installation to ensure correct fitment and proper alignment.

Will this kit make my ride uncomfortable?

The polyurethane material is stiffer than stock rubber, which can lead to a firmer ride and potentially more noticeable road imperfections. This is a trade-off for improved performance.

How do I adjust the camber settings?

Adjustment is made via the integrated mechanism on the control arm itself. Specific procedures should be followed, and professional alignment is required to set and lock the desired values.

Is this kit suitable for daily driving?

Yes, it can be used for daily driving, but be aware that the increased feedback and firmer ride may be more pronounced on rough road surfaces compared to stock bushings.

Do I need to lubricate these bushes?

No, Powerflex polyurethane bushes are designed to be maintenance-free and do not require lubrication.

What is the warranty on Powerflex bushes?

Powerflex typically offers a lifetime warranty on their polyurethane parts for manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty documentation for details.

Troubleshooting

Increased road noise or vibration

This is often a characteristic of performance suspension upgrades. Ensure the kit was installed correctly and torqued to specification. Some NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) is expected with stiffer bushings.

Difficulty in achieving desired alignment

Verify that the adjustable control arms are functioning correctly and that all locking mechanisms are engaged. Consult a professional alignment specialist experienced with adjustable suspension components.

Uneven tire wear

This typically indicates an alignment issue. Re-check camber, caster, and toe settings with a professional alignment. Ensure the adjustable arms are set to the correct specifications for your vehicle and driving style.

Pros and Cons

  • Sharper and more positive suspension and steering feedback.

  • Adjustable for precise alignment tuning.
  • Complements other performance suspension upgrades.
  • Reduces suspension component movement for improved stability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation involves replacing the original rear lower control arm bushes with the Powerflex components. Professional installation is recommended, as proper alignment is critical after fitting. The adjustable nature of the arms allows for fine-tuning of camber settings; consult a qualified technician or alignment specialist to achieve desired geometry. Ensure all hardware is torqued to manufacturer specifications.

Compatibility: This kit, part number PFR5-4615G, is specifically designed as an adjustable rear lower control arm kit. Always verify fitment for your specific vehicle model and year before purchase. It is intended to complement standard or upgraded suspension components like springs, dampers, and anti-roll bars.

Care: Powerflex polyurethane bushes are low-maintenance. Unlike rubber, they do not require lubrication. Cleaning can be done with mild soap and water. Avoid using petroleum-based solvents or degreasers, as these can damage the polyurethane material.
