Warning: FCP Groton PU Accessory Mount Bushings of Low Quality!

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve on  Sat Jun 12 12:43 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I bought a number of polyurethane accessory mount bushings from FCPGroton (an otherwise sterling operation.) I mounted these on the alternator of one 940. They do not cut it: within two weeks, they were compressed and distorted, allowing the alternator to cant and glazing the belt.

My other cars have the IPD blue versions, which are first rate and have lasted virtually forever. Word to the wise: stick with quality.

Nick, being a good guy, will cheerfully refund my money, but he needs to check his supplier quality on this item.
