I dont know....I bought the Powerflex one
Be aware that the diesel one is different (more stiff) due to the extra torque. |

Mine's fitted to my ZT V6 and I have 40 profile tyres fitted so it would be a different 'feel' to yours anyway.
I have read that people do experience more vibration with the Powerflex one but I can't say I've noticed any change in vibrations as a result of that alone. I suspect that it would have to be extremely stiff for you to notice in a 75. From what i've gathered from the two available, they look identical but the rubber compound is a stronger one to further isolate the vibrations from the diesel engine. The part number you have above is correct so a genuine part should have the part number stamped on it somewhere. |

There's little, if any visual difference between the diesel and petrol versions of the lower tie bar. The essential difference we're told is in the rubber composition.
There is a mixed set of views about the PolyFlex system. I think the jury may still be out on it. They introduced yet another variation in recent weeks. TC |

Think you will find the Dizzle one is softer to smooth out the extra vibration
its NOT stiffer!. It is all to do with the Rubber/Poly Shore hardness .. I have the latest Powerflex bush in my Diesel Auto and always thought it could be a tiny bit softer, But since I disconnected the Synergy its very good all the llttle vibes have disappeared .. C.

powerflex bush fills the hole The OEM one is smoother and damps vibrations better (I ran the PF one mind for 22000 plus miles with no issues) |

According to the photos of tests done by Jules, the diesel rubber is less resilient than that in the petrol version. In other words, it's stiffer.
