Even with this, I don't see how its adjustable. I just installed the powerflex bushings on the track car and i can't get them to rotate at all to change it. Its also a total pain in the ass to get them back into the subframe.
Yeah. That's because the powerflex adjustable caster bushing doesn't fit the hole. The Whiteline one does fit. I've had the Whiteline bushings in my 11 Fiesta hatchback for many years. I am very surprised that this has not been discussed at some point in the last several years! I am upgrading some parts for a future project and decided to go with that Powerflex bushing.
I decided to go look at some install videos just to be clear on how the part is articulated when pressed into the arm. What i saw was two pretty experienced guy's damn near injuring themselves while trying to get the bushings pressed in. The install should be smooth like buttah. These were alarmingly bad. Like effup the parts or the arm bad.
First bushing shell is the original Ford part
Second one is the Whiteline bushing.
Third one is the Powerflex .
I think i will wander across the driveway and visit a machine shop. I am curious if having the bushing slapped in an O.D. grinder and "adjusted" will compromise its strength. Or maybe Powerflex actually meant "adjustable to fit several arms of different cars".
I would not recommend that anyone spend their money on this one.
It looks like a quality piece. It's very heavy and nicely finnished . But, i was quite shocked about the extreme amount of force needed that still failed to get it in the provided hole.
