Bushings come in pre-determined durometers (measured hardness) from Powerflex to work best in each particular location. If you feel you need a softer or harder compound to suite your particular needs and the option is not available, contact us. We can custom order in durometers ranging from 70A(Yellow), 80A(Purple), and 95A(Black). 70A is slightly harder than rubber and works great for drivers looking for a slight increase in chassis response. 70A is not suggested in certain location due to its lack of rigidity. 80A is noticeably harder than rubber and makes a great performance street material that retails low levels of NVH. 95A is the hardest, and can be used in certain locations with minimal NVH. For most locations, 95A is used for aggressive/track use only.

starlet bushes dont keep the original shells.

i also fitted new bushes to a dogbone mount off a clio and that required the old bush shells to be removed.

even if he kept the original shell the bush would still be too small.

Does the gearbox have the OEM LSD?
If so then they wont fit that mount.

If not then i have a brand new powerflex gearbox mount bush in my garage you can have.
Doesnt fit mine due to LSD but they came as a full set so it just sitting there in the box now.

Hi Allan

We offer an option on the rear gearbox mount PFF76-423 primarily for the LSD models it measures 74.3mm diameter the sleeve length is 65.5mm with a bore of 10mm, looking at the measuring tape in your picture this should fit the bore of your mount.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.

Best regards
