Post by: joshstanvw on 27 February 2014, 13:53

Hi all just need a little bit of guidance I'm getting an awful rattling from my down pipe hitting the front subframe it seems to me I need to rotate the whole engine forwards a bit I have fitted a powerflex dogbone mount yesterday but was already getting a rattling from that general area beforehand anyone have any tips to get a bit more clearance? Cheers in advance

What downpipe are you running? I'm assuming it's hitting the top of the steering rack?

The only possible way it can be hitting is if you have put the dogbone back together/on the car wrong..... words of experience lol

I'm home now and gonna check
Looked to me last night like a 3" down pipe onto the standard cat but will have a measure and I'll also have a look to see if I have done the dogbone wrong lol
