Bedding in time for proflex dog bone bush.

[Pat J]

I have just fitted a proflex bush to my dog bone mount and knew there would be an increase in vibration into the vehicle but even after 500+ miles it's still horrendous and the better half wants to go back to the original rubber mount bush.
Does the vibration ease and if so after around how many miles? and if not can you buy the OEM rubber bush from anywhere or do you have to buy the complete mount at approx £50 from the dealers.

Any advice appreciated.

 

[james walker]

it should have bedded by now mate, did you torque the bolts back up correctly, clean fully before refitting etc?

try the ina dogbone, more pricey at £99 but its a full mount and zero vibrations.

mine still does it after a few K and i love it, bring on vibratechnics, and exhaust mounts, now that vibration,

 

[UncleFester]

I raised the idle speed on mine by 50rpm and that cured most of the noticeable stuff

I had one fitted by a garage with the correct make up and torques and even after 40,000 miles it still sucked.
Get the INA track density DBM, its got all the control with none, and I mean none of the vibrations

Ditto the EIP version......if you can get one from the US

The price you pay for having a diesel and running these types of mounts...

I have the power flex bushes, yep and after 6k it still vibrates at low revs, i increased the idle RPM, but at low revs if feels likes it gonna stall, However i am not sure if the fitter used the correct torque setting.

Pat J, check out this post http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=193975

gonna order the INA Dogbone today.

 

[james walker]

dont just get the dogbone mate, order all 3, makes sense seeing as you re paying the shipping anyway

only 220 shipped for all 3 then its happy days.....

another vote for the INA street density mount. zero vibration at all

We used to think we had to put up with the vibrations to get the control.
Issam, INA engineering and 034 Motorsport has changed our minds about this.

I got DPJ's old one there is little to no vibration when the car is warmed up. Only in heavy traffic with silly low revs do I occasionally notice it

It was torqued up right.
Has it made a difference, Myles?

 

[Mylo]

yep

if the power if fed in properly the car is planted When the coilovers go on it will be even better.

I have power flex bushes on my LCR, had them fitted by the dealer. They stopped vibrating after about 250 miles

Maybe check the torque on these, lol

 

[05LeonFR]

Had mine replaced yesterday done about 100 miles so far vibrations slowly going away

 

[wisejason]

DBM stop some of the front lift as well as help out with putting the power down?

 

[stewbie55]

Just fitted my Race Density DBM from INA today.

Absolutely zero vibrations, but still solid, way way better than my poly bush one that had been on for 15k miles, and I've only just done 5 miles on it!

I'm really chuffed with this and it's well worth the extra ££

I'll second that... thanks for the advice JS, glad I went for the race one in the end
