POWERFLEX BUSHES REVEALS NEW AUDI A2<br />
UPRATED POLYURETHANE SUSPENSION BUSHES<br />
AUDI’S A2 was way<br />
ahead of its time.<br />
When it came out<br />
prestige brands<br />
didn’t do small<br />
hatchbacks, and as a consequence<br />
many people didn’t<br />
know what to make of it.<br />
While sales were sluggish,<br />
this wasn’t due to any lack of<br />
quality or ability.<br />
You might expect Audi’s attention<br />
to detail to wane, but<br />
not a bit of it; no other small<br />
car is built this well, and the<br />
onslaught of more ‘premium’<br />
brands launching competitor<br />
products means that the Supermini<br />
market is now flooded<br />
with big names and very<br />
well-built small cars.<br />
Cherished for both its fuel<br />
efficiency and innovative design,<br />
not to mention the fact<br />
that you couldn’t actually<br />
open the bonnet to even look<br />
at the engine, the Audi A2<br />
has become something of a<br />
modern classic already. With<br />
plenty still on the road, and<br />
mileages creeping up all of<br />
the time, many are sure to be<br />
in need of some polyurethane<br />
upgrades.<br />
Hence Powerflex Bushes,<br />
Europe’s No.1 polyurethane<br />
suspension bush manufacturer<br />
and supplier, opted to<br />
launch a new Front Wishbone<br />
Front Bush to overcome the<br />
fact that many of the OE rubber<br />
bushes may have cracked<br />
or worn during the lifetime of<br />
the vehicle. Luckily, the Powerflex<br />
fit and forgot lifetime<br />
warranty means that you’ll<br />
never have to renew again<br />
if you opt for the Road Series,<br />
Purple 80A (durometer)<br />
bushes that are now available.<br />
Powerflex polyurethane<br />
bushes are designed to decrease<br />
the amount of deflection<br />
in your car’s suspension<br />
which improves handling,<br />
driver feedback, and tyre<br />
wear. Powerflex use its own<br />
premium polyurethane formulation<br />
to provide minimal<br />
NVH (noise, vibration, harshness)<br />
and increased longevity<br />
over stock rubber bushings.<br />
PFF3-1001 is a Front Wishbone<br />
Front Bush for the A2<br />
that includes zinc-plated<br />
steel washers to add support<br />
to the end faces of the bush<br />
and provide a smooth operating<br />
surface. Two are required<br />
per car.<br />
Powerflex’s years of experience<br />
developing perfect<br />
polyurethane products has<br />
culminated in every ounce<br />
of research, development<br />
and know-how being invested<br />
into the latest range of<br />
Audi products. Not just for<br />
the ultimate precision when<br />
behind the wheel, but also<br />
from a comfort and compliance<br />
viewpoint. By choosing<br />
Powerflex, you’re not just investing<br />
in a lump of polyurethane,<br />
but also the wisdom<br />
that comes from trying every<br />
possible compound and design<br />
solution out there. For<br />
high wear, heavy-duty applications,<br />
there’s literally no<br />
need to look elsewhere.<br />
