i would say the dog mount wouldnt cause vibration on the steering wheel. More likely to be down to un balanced wheels, worn bottom arm bushes.

I have powerflex bushes fitted to my dog mount and the only vibration i get is down to the wheels needing balancing and worn bushes which i am going to replace with Audi TT solid bushes.

I think you'll be fine.  I've got the R32 mount on my car and it's ace.

trust me it does cause vibration , i got a 034 motorsport dog bone on my car at the moment and is 90% stiffer compare to the standard dog bone and is cause vibration .... so now i just want something not so stiff ... i know the r32 dog bone wont cause vibration ...

If its any help I got the THS Engine mounts on my TDI and vibration is minimal even on that so I would have thought the dogbone would be fine on your 1.8T

Bonus is that its cheaper than the R32 mount :afro:

I have the full set of mounts and didn't notice any change in vibration at all, well worth it.

Hi guys, sorry the picture is a bit rubbish, but can u please confirm i have bought an uprated one?

<a href="http://s44.photobucket.com/albums/f11/Wellowpartys/Golf%20GTI/?action=view&current=PIC00019.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f11/Wellowpartys/Golf%20GTI/PIC00019.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

The main joint, (the circular bit) has a fair bit of movement and wondered if this was right or i needed to put a new, solid, bush in there?

Thanks Dave_IOW
