hehehe... the cops in costa rica catch the drunk drivers by looking for people driving in a straight line, as anyone in a normal state of mind would have to weave around the huge potholes that can swallow a car as a whole!!! those roads did kill my suspension, i had replace virtually every component before shipping the car out of country... lol...

Well I'm more than pleased to report I had the boy just over 100 on my way to work this morning and I'm amazed still. Not a thing, not a dickie bird!! No vibration, not even a murmur. And even on my way home this afternoon I thought I'd try braking from about 40 to 0 without touching the steering wheel to see what happens. Again, absolutely nothing.

Sorry to keep banging on about this, but as I said in another post I have been so pissed off with these steering issues for so long, and then to finally do something so simple as to change to these urethane ones and then get results like this, well (to me) its like winning the lottery!

To get the whole car done in Powerflex, we have the following item numbers for the E53:

PFF5-901 - Front lower radius arm to chassis
PFF5-905-29 - Front anti-roll bar to chassis 29mm
PFR5-908 - Rear subframe to chassis bush
PFR5-4609-22 - Rear anti roll bar mounting bush 22mm
PFR5-4609-23.5 - Rear anti roll bar mouting bush 23.5mm - this one will fit 4.8iS

Is there anything else is missing from this parts list?

Good info TX5! Even though I have only the front tension strut bushes and (front and rear ) anti-roll bar bushes in, it may be wise to do the rear subframe bushes too. However I replaced mine for oem about 18 months ago with no issues to date so no need to do that job again for a while.

Do you know if they do the lower control arm in powerflex? :dunno:

Cool :cool:
