The Ford Fiesta built for nearly 50 years, over seven generations with 22 million vehicles sold globally and a plethora of awards to its name, there can be no doubting the Ford Fiesta’s popularity and status as the backbone of British’s motoring.
Widely regarded as one of the best small, affordable cars of all time, the Fiesta finally bowed out in 2023 with the MK7 and MK8 models, representing the final two versions of this household name.
With the oldest MK7’s approaching 16 years old, wear of components becomes an issue and none more so than the rubber mounting bushes used around the vehicle’s suspension system, including the steering rack.
With bushes not being available separately from Ford and the price of a new steering rack close to £500 + VAT, this week Powerflex are pleased to announce the release of their new PFF19-1509 Steering Rack Mounting Bush.
Made from the stiffer Black 95A durometer material to increase stiffness over the OE rubber bush by approx. 33%, they provide a perfect balance of compliance, durability and performance, helping to restore steering precision, feel and straight-line accuracy.
Fitting the bushes can be a laborious and costly process because of the positioning of the steering rack, so fitting POWERFLEX ensures a fit-and-forget solution, backed by our Lifetime Warranty.
These new parts are in addition to our previously released range of suspension bushes and engine/transmission mounting products for the MK7 and MK8 Fiesta.
