Dog Bone Mount...

[Ashmond]

Mine has randomly come out, went over Essex on Saturday night and hit a dirty pothole and from what I can see looking under the car the dogbone mount has come out! To put this back in can I just bolt it up or do I need to remove loads of stuff (ie: the engine?)

I think this is something you can do quite easy.. there is a guy at work with a cupra r and he did his himself, and he is a stupid idiot, so im sure it can be done at home, but may be wrong

I'd be more worried about why it has come out mate 

Good opportunity to put an R32 one back instead

I went over some nasty potholes on the weekend, going to my mates garage, he has a pit so going to look at it this evening!

Cheers Rich - I jacked it up last night and had a look. The mount was completely loose and my engine had tilted backwards which obvioulsy wasnt good! And to make matters worse where the rear of the engine had tilted back, my inlet mani was way too high and in turn dented my bonnet outwards in a few spots 

Got to get a new dogbone, but me and a mate sorted the one I got temporarily so it'l hold till the weekend.

Its ok mate got a 1.8t donor car thats been stripped and still has a few bits that I can steal off it, wishbones, subframes, mounts, loads of stuff!

Fancy trying to whack these seats in on the weekend?
