Sorry for making this thread but i cant find what i need to know :embarrassed:
Im going to be buying the yellow bushes from either awesome or ebay
I don't want it to vibratey (is that a word?) so I'm only going to put in 1 bush but i don't know which, big or small ?
-
I had them and hated them. I bought the red tdi ones in the end which are supposedly softer and even then im only using half.
-
aup mate, changed both bushes on mine the one that has the bolt going though it which goes into gear box, then the big bush which is closer to the subframe, it makes a fair bit of vibration but makes it alot better when it comes to driving it hard as i found the stanard ones too soft. if you only changed the small bush i dont think you would notice any diffrence to be honest mate.
-
Well i have alot of front to back movement on the engine so the need changing il it only takes a couple of minutes to get it off so il have a swap about and see whats best !
-
Youll like the more positive gear change but I didnt feel it was worth the extra vibration.
-
Hmmmm how many miles have you covered and what one did you replace with the poly ?
-
R32 dogbone :wink:
-
R32 dogbone :wink:

R32 dogbone :wink:

Too much :lipsrsealed: IIRC £80 for the complete dogbone - you cant buy the bushes separate

The THS dogbone mount is also supposed to be good :smiley:

The one that you can just about see when its all bolted back into the car, it looks better with the red showing a little bit :grin:
As said, R32 sounds the best if you have the money but for 80 quid I think id just leave it alone :smiley:
-
not bad a price if you ask me but thats just me :lipsrsealed:
-
£80s not that bad to be fair ive ordered the red bush from awesome for £17 which will be here tomorrow with my coilovers wooooooooo :laugh: :laugh: :grin: :grin: so il give them a try first with both for abit then 1 if after a couple of hundred miles its still crap then i can get the r one as a last resort

The yellow ones are perfect for my diesel, and those engines move like a mother f**k*r under load. You won't notice too much vibration if I haven't! :smiley:
-
Like me and mike from awesome were saying if you go from a completely foobard bush which will be uber soft then going to something rock solid its obviously going to feel like sh!te my tt bushes felt like crap at first cause they had no give in them at all but yhere fine now il report back once fit then again in a month or so
-
So yeah my bushes were shot ! Ive put both red ones in first start of the engine and it does vibrate like mad, havnt driven it yet but its quite massaging on your back on idle
-
Wait till you pull off on a hill with not quite enough revs :grin:
-
I hate them already :cry: 70 on the motorway it just drones with vibrations !! I will be putting the small one on tomoz with a standard one
-
R32 for me, no vibrations and hard enough IMO
-
done this mod on my 99 agu as the bushes were worn and needed doing, so i bought both bushes, small and big, put them both on which solved my issues with a slumpy rolly engine.,,, but at the same time gave the most horendous vibration in the car! it did improve the response time slightly and made it feel more direct but in short i have a new born baby and i hate rattles.... so it had to go, ordered myself a used perfect condition mount complete with buses and its lovely! i stil have the original bushes as i was going to replase the upright round (small) one as i think just this alone would give a happy medium.
i still have the whole mount together ready to bolt on for sale if anyone wants it tho.. i only changed it back for comfort reasons, 3 years ago and i wouldnt have cared!
-
Now for sale :laugh:
-
How much? :)
-
You were warned :grin:
-
£20 posted with the mount itself so what i paid really
Yeah i know i was but i thought it was worth a try for 20 quid ! I cant be arsed messing around with swapping bushes seeing whats best so il be buying the r one ! I can feel it will eventually get softer but i wong it right now !
Its in the engine classifieds
