Front Wishbone, front bush

**fassi1** · Monday 5th March 2012, 21:10

Hi.
I discovered that front wishbone front bushes are gone and i want to replace them with powerflex bushes,
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Powerflex-...item3cb0ff4352
Is that all i need?
OEM ones have mounting pins with 2 threaded holes, do i reuse them with those poly bushes?

Was it a knock while coming off then on the throttle or when hitting a bump round a corner?

Ive noticed knocking today and couldn't resist to find out whats the reason.

Does Powerflex do front wishbone rear bushes?

With regards to the knocking, see my reply to shane's post.
I don't believe they do rear bushes, but they rarely fail.

Get the wheel off and start levering things, see what moves most. Probably droplinks tho.

Todays knocking was definitely while driving on the irregular surface,
but i do get slight knocking while comming coming off then on the throttle.
That probably will be one of the engine mounts, but i replaced one of the top ones.

by the way,nice looking s60 you got there...looks good in that colour!!!!

The knocking on and off the throttle will be the hub bolt coming lose. Tighten it with some threadlocker or get some xc90 bolts, hey have rubber washers. While the wheel is off, check the.droplinks. since you have the polys, fit them anyway cos the difference is fantastic

dont mean to be a thread stealer but xc90 bolts?????

**M-R-P** · Monday 5th March 2012, 22:11

Yep, that's right Shane. All the P2 stuff shares a number of parts. The hub bolts are interchangable although the xc90 ones have a rubber washer that helps stop them from shaking loose.

**fassi1** · Monday 5th March 2012, 22:12

Are u talking about 20 or 22?
