Powerflex Front Bushes

I have been wondering about buying front Powerflex bushes as the rear were replaced when my car's MOT was due, and I am thinking that the front one's will be due to get replaced shortly.
I am thinking about buying the below,
FRONT WISHBONE LOWER FRONT x 2
FRONT WISHBONE LOWER REAR x 2
FRONT ANTI ROLL BAR MOUNT x 2
Let me know if the above front Powerflex bushes are a good or a bad idea to buy.

FRONT ANTI ROLL BAR MOUNT x 2 this one is not a Puma item though for the FRP.

Thanks Kate for saying that the FRONT ANTI ROLL BAR MOUNT x 2 are for an FRP only as I own an FRP just like you.

I 'think' it is that bush that does not have a powerflex replacement and it is also not a standard Pume bush either. Still Ford OEM but a different car, think it's an Escort van

"Some of you may already know, but for anyone planning changing the front wishbone rear rubber bush to the uprated one, don't pay the fifty odd quid for a pair from the 'puma-tunas'. It's a standard ford item part number 97FB 3A262 AA FRP BUSH, think they cost about 7 quid each."

i would definately recommend them tho jus fitted them this weekend makes a big difference to steering feel.
bought my set from an ebay shop.
130 bhp upgrade and handling that makes the puma feel useless on a corner
now thats money better spent.

it is a standard Ford item, but it is not about £7 even from Ford unless you get discount/trade. Lucky you though
It is not FRP specific rather the FRP uses a bush from the Ford parts bin of other models so to speak

Shaun, What did you pay for the Powerflex bushes from eBay and who from?

That bush is the one that has to be a Ford item I think specific for the FRP (though it is something like an Escort van bush)

That is right as I already have the rear powerflex bushes fitted on my own FRP.
All I was looking for was front Powerflex bushes.

The silver cased Powerflex bush is called the Front Wishbone Lower Rear Bush. (PFF19-702)
If I need to I can always resell it on ebay as it only fits a normal Ford Puma.
