Hi,
   
   I contacted Powerflex (http://www.powerflex.co.uk/) to ask whether they have polyurethane suspension bushes for a AC MK IV. Unfortunately they haven't but they can produce them if the interest is big enough.
   
   So I have to questions:
   1) how would be interested in these kind of bushes
   2) do you have the same bushes for the front and rear axle? At my car they are identical but I have a quite early MK IV with a MK III style front axle , I guess.
   
   Regards, Peter

   Hi Peter
   
   We seem to have the same suspension. And I will buy a set of bushes If you have them remanufactured.

how do you tell an MKII front axle from a MKIV. I have AK1113

Mk IVs have "rod ends" (Heim joints) on the front upper inner arms to allow adjustments and alignment, MK IIIs did not.
