Powerflex Road Series Front Engine Mount Bush (1 Required) – PFR57-820

Powerflex Road Series Front Engine Mount Bush – PFR57-820

The Powerflex Road Series Front Engine Mount Bush (PFR57-820) is designed to fit all Porsche 981 & 987.2 Boxster/Cayman models from 2009 onwards. For earlier models, please use PFR57-520. Renowned for their impeccably balanced handling, these Porsche models are celebrated as some of the most rewarding sports cars available. However, suspension issues are the second most common reason for MOT failures in these vehicles, with similar fatigue often observed in the engine mountings.

Prolonged and repetitive strain on the engine mountings, combined with the large voiding in the original equipment (OE) bush, leads to accelerated ageing of the rubber, with failures frequently occurring from around 50,000 miles onwards. The PFR57-820 Front Engine Mount Bush is crafted from our Yellow 70A durometer material and comes with an anodised outer shell and supporting washers, offering a 20% increase in stiffness over the standard rubber. This enhancement is ideal for all 981/987.2 models from 2009 onwards.

Please note, a small increase in noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), typically at idle, should be expected when stiffening the connecting mount between the engine/transmission and chassis. The harder the material used, the greater the NVH transmitted.

With impeccably balanced handling, the Porsche 981 & 987.2 Boxster/Cayman inc R are bags of fun to drive, with them rated as being one of the most rewarding sports cars money can buy.

However, according to specialists and those in the know, suspension problems are the second most common reason for a 981/987.2 to fail its MOT and the same fatigue seen in the rubber suspension bushes, can be seen in the engine mountings.

Prolonged and repetitive strain translated through the engine mounting in combination with the large voiding in the OE bush, results in accelerated ageing of the rubber, with bush failures often seen from around 50,000 miles onwards.

PFR57-820 Front Engine Mount Bush is made from our Yellow 70A durometer material and supplied with an anodised outer shell and supporting washers, providing a 20% increase in stiffness over the standard rubber, suiting all 981/987.2 models from 2009 onwards.

A small increase in NVH, usually at idle, should be expected when stiffening the connecting mount between the engine/transmission and chassis. The harder the material used, the greater the NVH transmitted.

Why Polyurethane Bushes?

Suspension bushes are some of the most highly stressed components fitted to a motor car. They undergo enormous strains and in the most arduous of conditions with no maintenance or lubrication. 

The material they are manufactured from is a rubber compound containing natural products that deteriorate with age. It becomes softer and more pliable, resisting the forces placed on it less and less. Therefore allowing more and more movement of suspension components and offering less and less control over the suspension geometry.

This in turn causes accelerated tyre wear, braking instability, and poor handling. This is the single biggest reason you can instantly tell the difference driving a three-year-old car compared to a showroom new one. However, even new cars will benefit from POWERFLEX bushes because of the superior design they offer much more effective control of the suspension components to a much greater extent than normal rubber items.

With the technological advances in this material, it has been possible to overcome the common problem associated with harder bushes which is increased noise. By correctly engineering the polyurethane compound, bushes can be made 25-30% stiffer than new rubber items but with exactly the same noise absorbing properties. 

POWERFLEX for improved performance.     //     POWERFLEX for increased safety.     //     POWERFLEX for prolonged tyre life.

Powerflex Lifetime Warranty

Powerflex is proud to offer a Lifetime Warranty on the entire range of products we manufacture.

We have taken this decision because of the confidence that we have in both our products and also in the way that we have handled any warranty issues in the past.

We have never had a time period based warranty policy because we have always treated issues that customers have had as an opportunity to learn.

Where a problem has occurred due to incorrect fitting, we have always asked ourselves if the reason for the error was due to poor fitting instructions.

When we have had a part failure we have tried to understand if the part was being used outside of its design parameters, perhaps on a race car running slick tyres. In cases like this, should we be offering a specific motorsport compound?

Like all manufacturing, we have had the occasional material quality issue and in these cases, we have always replaced parts without question.

So now we have decided to formalise our open and honest policy and boast about it!

We will replace any Powerflex product that any customer in the world is unhappy with for any reason.

The only conditions that we attach to this Warranty are:

• By purchasing and using Powerflex products, you are agreeing to the terms of our Lifetime Warranty as set out below.
• This Warranty applies to the original purchaser only. Proof of purchase may be required
• That in the event of an issue you contact us directly at [email protected] and give as much information as possible to enable us to help you. This will involve giving us details of the installation and any changes made to the car, photos of failed parts, and the installation.
• Warranty is restricted to the replacement of the supplied goods, but no consequential loss (e.g. carriage charges, garage labour costs, vehicle recovery, car hire, loss of earnings, etc.) from any resulting problems. In the event of failure, we may require the old, failed parts returned to us for inspection after sending replacements.
• Any parts used for track/motorsport/competition purposes or part numbers ending ‘BLK’ are excluded from our Lifetime Warranty.

What we ask in return is that anyone wanting replacement parts contacts us directly and sends us as much information as possible which will help us determine the reason for a problem.
