Powerflex suspension bushes for the Volkswagen Golf MK6 inc R 5K (2009-2012) are polyurethane replacements for the original rubber bushes. They are available in Road Series and Black Series, with a fitting diagram showing every bush position and part number.
Overview
Rubber suspension bushes soften, split and let the suspension move out of position as they age. Powerflex polyurethane bushes control that unwanted flex, which keeps the Volkswagen Golf MK6 inc R 5K's suspension geometry where it should be. Powerflex says this prolongs tyre life, improves performance and increases safety on the road. Every bush is made in-house by Powerflex, a UK manufacturer formed in 1996.

Powerflex offers a lifetime warranty to the original purchaser when bought through an authorised distributor. Parts used for track, motorsport or competition, and part numbers ending in BLK (Black Series), are excluded. Source: Powerflex lifetime warranty terms. Checked 9 November 2026.
Will polyurethane bushes make the ride harsher?
