Opel Manta Polyurethane Suspension Bushes

So you've got a shiny new set of shock absorbers and some decent lowering springs for your Manta, but before you bolt everything in place you might aswell treat yourself to some Powerflex polyurethane suspension bushes otherwise, if you fit them later you'll just have to unbolt everything to put them in and redo your hard work all over again.

Why polyurethane suspension bushes? Suspension bushes fit between the moving parts of the suspension and the chassis, such as in the mounting eye of a shock absorber, bump stops, tie bars and anti-roll bars. As such they are subject to massive stresses, especially when being pushed to perform in a fast road or rally application. The suspension bushes act as dampers for any noise and vibration/movement.

Normal rubber bushes are good when new but they deteriorate quickly under the stresses imposed by the suspension. Polyurethane bushes are 25-30% stiffer and should last longer and give better performance.

The table below gives the applications and part numbers for Manta B polyurethane bushes from the manufacturer Powerflex. The information is correct as of 30 December 2004 but for the latest details visit the Powerflex Manta B parts page.

NOTE: It has been suggested that PU suspension bushes not be used for anti-roll bar applications in high-mileage road cars. We will confirm this as information becomes available.
