A step up in performance - combining urethane and aluminum to exceed the capabilities of standard urethane bushings without going full solid.
These bushings use an aluminum outer shell with a thin layer of polyurethane to give greatly increased performance by reducing deflection. But without reaching the point of a solid, "no give" bushing like Delrin or a monoball. Powerflex has developed this bushing with two stiffness levels -
Purple (80A durometer) for some cushion and deflection. This will be favored on bumpy tracks or high kerbs that send jolts and kickback through the steering and bodyshell.
Black (95A durometer) for reducing deflection even further. Of the two, the Black Series will have the least deflection and greater performance/response. While still not as solid as Delrin, the Black Series will not be as nervous feeling or "darty", especially on bumpy pavement.
These bushings are in the offset orientation - they add more caster and camber to cars that originally came with centered bushings.
Because of the minimal bushing layer, we do not recommend these for street use. NVH and comfort is not a factor in the engineering of these bushings.
Powerflex has extensive experience in automotive suspension and chassis systems and has combined these skills with advanced polyurethane manufacturing techniques. Bushing durometer (stiffness) has been carefully selected for specific uses. Powerflex copper-based grease is supplied with every bushing set, and they will rarely need re-lubing due to the unique design features built into the material to hold the lubricant.
