Powerflex bushes

Greetings!

Just got my Range Rover sport and loving it!

Getting a little knocking from the front suspension however and I realise that these cars are prone to it due to the weight. I have a question regarding my suspension if you wouldn't mind helping?

I'm looking to buy Powerflex bushes to replace the standard items but when I look there are 2 options for the ARB bushes, one with ACE suspension and one without. How will I know if my car has ACE suspension? It's a late 2009 RRS 3.0

Also, has anyone experience of Powerflex bushes? Do they last longer or are they a waste of money?

Thanks in advance 😀

Hello Tim.

If You open the hood, and look, just behind the radiator,
on the left, if You stand facing the car, there is a "filler bottle"
with a yellow cap on it, just like the one for the power steering.

So in short, if You have two "yellowcapped" bottles, You have
ACE.. (ActiveCorneringEnhancement)

Ciao

I have just seen these on eBay from a Land Rover specialist and wondered if they are any good as well. Will be interesting to see what feedback there is on these.

I don't think they will do much for you ride quality, I tried Polyurethane pollybushes on a Disco 2 that I had, I was like driving a commercial truck, so reverted back to standard within a matter of weeks. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Don't fit anything other than standard, I tried polybush they were noisy and clonked, so I went back to the upgraded standard bush back & front and haven't had any problems since..

Polybush we make the car very firm, and bouncy, IMHO

Rebushed a D3 for a customer with orange Polys, against my (and others) advice. Lasted 3 weeks before he had them swapped for OEM bushes

As others have said, if you value ride quality and lack of noise stay away from any type of poly bushes
