Had dogbone mount changed

[Nutkin]

Now the car shakes alot when i try and creep forward on the clutch!


is this normal?

moment i whack some throttle in it goes away.

im 98% sure this is fine just checking tbh.

the standard dogbone mount will have softer rubber than upgraded mounts.
You therefore get more vibration.

From what i have read, for many it starts off bad then reduces with a bit of use.

Other people have said they have changed 1 rubber rather than the usual 2 that are changed to get a compromise.

from what i understand, if you go for changing the rubber rather than buying a whole mount it can be a bit worse.

Hi
I must admit , most people say that it does take time to bed in
So give it a bit of time
Any issues after a hundred or so miles , some people do what already has been said , replace one of the bushes with the standard one
Fingers crossed , but should be OK after a while

if the bushes have been clamped withthe right torque the vibration shouldn't be too bad after a while. It never goes away completely though with the poly bushes.

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

i read about using correct torque settings but i don't know if this applies only when fitting the whole mount or how relevent this is at all.

 

[jwfcms]

it will be bad at first but will soon wear in, also need to check the tightening torque of the bushes because too tight and it will vibrate too much

 

[D.K]

Stick with it mate it WILL get better.
Did you fit it your self ???

 

[rsmith]

second that, it will get better, eventually.i also increased my idle speed to stop the vibrations on standstill.
Stick with it tough, its worth it.

 

[cordobabrendy]

Yea, raise the idle speed by ten or twenty revs and itll disappear.

Mine used to make my teeth chatter it was so bad, hardly notice it now

 

[Nutkin]

Storm Developments fitted it, I had a service today and the original mount was worn down, so he said he had some powerflex ones, i read on here they were nice so i went for it.


seems to be getting a bit better i did 70 miles on it today he said anywhere between 300 and 500 and it should bed in.


but 70k service + Dog mount all parts fitting and vat = 175 pounds

pretty chuffed with that tbh.

I fitted my dog bone bushes the wrong way round, had bad vibrations, but soon as I switched them round it was much better. Something to consider if it doesn't get better.

i fitted ths dogbone mount, absolutly no cabin vibrations, much stiffer bush than oem, and vastly inproved.
id check torque settings to see if theyve torqued properly.
