Ph2 172 Cup
Just finished upgrading my dogbone mount to PowerFlex bushes. At the same time I took off the top engine mount as I was concerned it was also knackered (can't be bothered with passenger side mounts today ).
Fortunately on inspection the top mount looks pretty good so I fitted it all back together using the 'adjustment' tips in the guide section.
Just been for a short drive and there really seems to be a noticeable 'tightness' to the engine now. The gear shift is MUCH smoother, despite the fact that I wouldn't have said the old bushes were past it, and after adjusting the top mount there's much less play in the engine if I try to wiggle it.
So I'd recommend the upgrade to PowerFlex bushes on the dogbone.
And for anyone with engine knocking problems, check out the guides section and try the quick fix first, you might save yourself £60....
