Powerflex Outer Anti-Roll Bar Bushes 23mm - Renault Clio 2 RS

The severe risks of losing front-end steering precision and enduring unstable body roll mid-corner

The front suspension setup on the Clio RS range is celebrated for its legendary agility, but it is highly sensitive to the wear and deflection of its rubber joints. By choosing to drive on your factory original equipment rubber anti-roll bar bushings, or by fitting cheap aftermarket replica parts, you accept the drawback of letting your track alignment shift under heavy cornering loads. Under intense cornering stress, OEM rubber crushes and flexes out of shape, which prevents the sway bar from operating efficiently and slows down the handling response of your chassis. Without the calibrated rigidity of this Powerflex PFF60-207-23 bush kit for the Clio 2 RS, you suffer a noticeable loss of traction when exiting tight bends, excessive body lean, and rapid uneven wear across your high-performance track tyres. You lose the razor-sharp turn-in feedback of your performance car, face nervous weight transfers during fast direction changes, and fail to secure consistent lap times on track days.

Crushed or degraded outer sway bar bushes generate a permanent vagueness in the steering rack and worsen entry understeer. Ignoring this uprated PFF60-207-23 replacement leaves your front lower track control arms prone to unwanted friction, compromising overall front-end efficiency.

Patented Powerflex polyurethane compound engineered for total roll control

This kit of outer 23mm anti-roll bar bushes benefits from the advanced material formulation developed by Powerflex, offering significantly higher mechanical resistance to automotive fluids, road salt, and harsh track conditions compared to standard rubber. By removing unwanted elastic compliance while allowing the anti-roll bar to rotate smoothly along its axis, these polyurethane upgrades ensure your sway bar works at peak efficiency. It represents the definitive technical choice required to overhaul your suspension tracking or to complete a professional customization of your sports chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How can I confirm if my Clio 2 RS is equipped with a 23mm anti-roll bar?
Renault fitted several anti-roll bar sizes across the Clio 2 RS production lifecycle (commonly 22mm, 23mm, 24mm, or 25mm). It is absolutely essential to measure the thickness of your front bar near the outer end link point using a vernier caliper before confirming your purchase of the PFF60-207-23 part number.

Is there a specific assembly grease required to install these polyurethane bushes?
Yes, Powerflex includes a dedicated packet of premium high-load PTFE/polyurethane grease with every bush kit. Applying this lubricant thoroughly to the inner bore surfaces during installation is mandatory to eliminate friction noise and ensure long-term, squeak-free mechanical operation.
