Best dog bone mount for 150pd
« on: 14 September 2011, 19:45 »
Have been offered a dog bone mount with Neuspeed polyurethane bushes fitted. Done some reading and people say with diesels different bushes maybe too harsh. Could anyone recommend me one or would this be ideal?

Cheers

Rhyso had a polybush fitted and didn't like it ended up swapping it for the R32 dogbone

Yep; they supposedly bed in after a 1000miles but that never happened

R32 of the THS dogbone mount are the ones to go for :afro:

R32 you get from the dealers along with the bolts

THS Performance is the other one I'd go for

Cheers Stu, will prob give that a go, little cheaper so if it is that bad I won't be out of pocket too much! I'm guessing I'd still need the 3 new bolts, which I could get from the dealers?

No idea if they come with the bolts or not mate. I haven't ordered one yet as I've been spending far too much recently and its not top of my list.  :wink:
However, I'd be inclined to re-use the old bolts anyway if there was nothing wrong with them.

The bolts are stretch bolts

For the couple of quid they cost they are worth replacing  :smiley:
