    I've fired off a couple of emails, lets see if we get any response.

    The next question is, does anyone have one of the bushes out on the bench if we need to send off one as a template?

    Right, just heard back from powerflex, has anyone got a pic of the support with the bushes in it? Powerflex would like to take a look at what we need.

    I'd assume so.

    Have you got a pic of the bushes you mean?

    No need for a pic of the front bushes, I just nipped down to the garage and snapped one. Thought I'd attach it here for reference.

    I think we need to make sure they can make the bushes, and they can do a short production run before worrying about getting a sample to them.

    Fingers crossed.

    Hi all, I've had a couple of replies back from Powerflex with regards to the bushes. From this I'm assuming that they can produce the bushes. But they do want to know how many sets that we are looking for at the moment.

    So guys, if you are looking for a new set of the lower, rear engine support bushes, or just want a set spare, (remember these aren't available anywhere at the moment) let me know in this thread.

    Cheers

    Steve

    Just heard back again from Powerflex, and they can manufacture these bushes for us, and add them to their catalogue. Just need to send them the bracket and bolts that pass through the bushes. Does anyone have these spare\off the car? If not its not a problem as I can remove mine and send it through.

    So if you are interested, please let me know on here.

    Are other people interested in the rear subframe bushes?

    Are they available anywhere else?

    My rear subframe needs to come off so I might slip a new set on.

    I also have a rear subframe laying around.
    I could try to remove the bushes when I can find some time or somebody else must have them laying around.

    Are these (subframe) bushes the same across the 155 range...if so I think there is a replacement already from another model, and Fiat Coupe guys are using solid blocks of aluminium.

    marc,

    could you make the pictures of the rear subframe bushes, i'll eplain in dutch which one

    (de bussen van de draagarmen achter bij de subframe bevestiging en de rubbers waar het subframe/cardan mee vast hangt)

    It's difficult taking pictures when mounted under car

    Thanks
    Jan

    It seems like I will need those 2 lower/rear engine bushes. I've noticed that the prop-shaft and front stabiliser bar do come in contact when driving over bumps...I could assume it is due to those bushes must be damaged now.

    What could take so much to Powerflex company to respond client's requests?

    Hi Cristian,

    I was talking with Powerflex, it all came to a stop because they needed to get hold of the entire assembly before they could quote a price\look into making the bushes.

    hi there!

    I yust spot this thread and maybe I got a cheeper solution about thoose bushes.

    this bushes fit only from tempra and dedra 4x4 models, NOT from Delta!

    i did not try this yet, but it may work.

    i bought some bushes for lower arm from older VW cars (such passat, vento, golf 2-3, caddy, seat, until 2001 year) it costed around 8 euros and you can find it in every car parts shop without problems.

    so, outer diametar of this bush is 60mm so it fits
    but inner diametar is 17mm instead 12mm like alfas bush, so it need one reducing iron bush or someting else to 12mm. i think it's an cheep solution and it may work... i post some pictures of it, and if you Steve need some dimension for powerflex...

    Cheers for the pics, how well did it all fit back together?

    I've got a replacement bracket that should be on its way to Powerflex soon so they can see about making up some replacement bushes.
