Here is a standard bush compared to the powerflex one when the radi are lined up, you can see the difference in height. The bushes are the same overall length but where the radius starts is different. This one show the difference in where the radius starts when the bushes are placed on end next to each other.

Yes when i burnt the old rubber out i went in with a hacksaw and cut the steel outer. They fit in the beam ok, and will fit in the bracket on the car, but when in the beam they wont go! Here are the piccys.. As you can see with the other side in the bracket this side is out by what 8 - 10mm.....

Oh dear!!!! Right i have a '97 mk3 golf vr6. I had an advisory on the bushes on last years MOT, so i decided to do them this year before it got tested. I did the ones on my mk2 golf so went ahead and got the powerflex bushes for the 5 stud hub cars and stripped the car down. Great - I had the beam off the car and the old bushes out in a couple of hours. I came to fitting the bushes and as per the instructions they just slid into the beam. Offered the beam back up into the brackets on the chassis and it wont go back in. If you get the bush in the bracket on 1 side, the other is out by about 10m
