Just fitted dogbone mount???

[Nef]

just fitted my dogbone mount that i got from forge, iv heard that loads of people say that it vibrates, iv done all the bolts up to the correct torque and theres absolutely no vibration, is this normal?

 

[lordgibbness]

Being poly I would've expected you to notice a difference. Although mine is not that noticable (being a harder rubber) there is still a vibration through the steering wheel at idle.

What does your car idle at?

 

[wisejason]

What torque settings did you use? There are a few recommendations with various numbers.

I didn't notice much either when I had mine changed.

i used 20nm for the front 2 that are the same and 33nm for the 2 nearer the front of the car
same as this.

is there much difference in the forge and the ina whats the price of the ina

 

[Ronin225]

The INA is the full mount not just bushes, its about 100 quid.
If you are getting the other 2 mounts as well as i plan too add just over a 100 again

Should be 20 lb/ft

Which means you're about 25%+ (5-6 lb/ft) light Head-Up, which would definitely make a difference I would imagine.

how good are the forge ones worth the time ?

 

[Nef]

the forge bushes are superb, no wheel hop at all so far. and hopfully theyll be even better when i do them up correctly
