Chaps,
I have my Kangoo top mount and upper gearbox mount fitted along with my new lower mount and poly-bushed dog bone.
The car is definatley much tighter with instant throttle response and a very solid feel now, even the ride is improved. There is no extra vibration caused by the mounts.
However, my top mount was originally sheared so the effect of the new mounts may be accentuated by this.
Plus, when really shoeing it through second, I still get the exhaust/manifold catching/resonating on the subframe. I know this is due to the positioning of the engine as the upper gearbox mount was loose last week and this symptom was terrible at that point.
My verdict: If you think you have dicky mounts and/or have done 50k plus on your existing mounts, change all four as the difference will be noticeable.
However, i'm not sure I'd bust a gut to change mounts just for the sake of fitting Kangoo items.
