Does anyone can tell me where to buy a complete urethane bushings kit for my 2005 MC?

Don't do it- You're car will get really loud in about 5K miles & all the bushings will start to squeak with the thick white grease turns to glue.

I replace every bushing with eurethane inserts on my Honda, then replaced them with new OEM bushings after cleaning/lubing them twice.

Well I'm asking because my front bushings are a mess and replace them again with oem don't give me too much confidence, I was loking for the kit that powerflex offers, that's the only kit that I found, they are in polyurethane. If anyone know other brand of bushing kit please let me know.

I've had mine on for 20,000 miles.

Love the difference

No extra noise to speak of.

I go my Powerflex from Harrison Motorsports here in Atlanta.

About the powerflex bushings...still noise free? Did you replace everything? Do they really need to be lubed up at regular intervals?
