Scotland 2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black
Powerflex bushes on front ARB (ACE)

Just had these installed on my 08 HSE and all I can say is WOW! This must be how LR really wanted the car to drive like, much faster steering response and much more sorted in corners (more predictable), and all for £38 (plus labour but dealer was doing the bushes anyway so a freebie!)

Not connected with Powerflex in anyway at all (wish I was as may consider getting more bushes done as and when).

Will add this to my Top Five list of things to do to a RRS, updated steering wheel, colour coded exterior , piano black interior trim and wiring mirrors to fold on locking...

Ride is no stiffer (might be if you had the wishbones done as well) but less roll on cornering, and turn in is much more positive. Steering feels sharper...

I think it takes about two hours but others on the forum could probably give a better estimate, I dropped the car off early yesterday and collected lunchtime today...

Interesting. Did you order them direct from Powerflex? Might give this a go myself as my ARB is knocking.

Eurocarparts, ordered online and collected next day (although they had them in stock) 34mm if you have the active ARB but best check first... am looking to get rear ARB done now...

Don't get too excited as bushes aren't part of their discount! 😝 But it is only £38 for both anyway...

You'd need to check which you need (30mm non ACE or 34mm with ACE) on the Powerflex website https://www.powerflex.co.uk/road-series/pr...018/1.html

ECP generally have these in stock but there are other local distributors if you check the Powerflex website
