Bog bone

[G2232]

Good day guys

now just a quick call to ask if its as straight forward as it appears to fit the dig bone.

Had a look in ther searches and from what i came across it was vague but i got the impression it was so was just wondering if anyone knew of a link or thread where there was a talk through or fitting guide.

I thought its just a case of lift the car support the engine remove existing (not sure if there is any particular order of any kind) and replace with existing to correct torque.

yea its pretty much that simple, in fact the engine doesnt really need supporting as it should sit where its located. The only difficult bit is pressing the new rubbers into the dogbone mount's sleeve.

Does it need to be re torqued to a set amount?
as it doesn't really tell you much in the lines of info in the box

trust me on this.....it is EASY.

I didnt have a guide or use any particular torque settings and mine seems absolutely fine.

 

[RikH]

yes it does have torque settings
there was a diagram flying around

try the guides section on the main page of the site

i fittind one to mine today. i was expecting a massive diffrence, but i can only notice a medium diffrence, the T/C light still comes on when i boot it.
the car does 'feel' more connected to the engine tho, and i havnt managed to get any wheel hop. so overall a good mod.

the most dificault part of fitting it was getting the arms of the 4 poster ramp under the car, stupid lowness!!

 

[cordobabrendy]

It all depends on how much yo torque your bolts back on, if you under tighten them then it wont feel any different, the more you tighten them the less wheel hop but also a little more bumpy brashness when you force it to spin on crap surfaces.
