Replacement Small Dog Bone Bushing

[Cadubya]

If anyone wants to replace the little bushing in the dog bone mount I got this one off ebay from vibratechnics. It's bonded rubber instead of poly. The poly ones have been known to disintegrate when exposed to the harsh winter elements. It ended up being $75 shipped, but that's still cheaper than replacing the whole dog bone.

VAG 455B

Yeah, it works awesome too. I didn't know they would sell the dogbone separately. I got the lower subframe mount and dogbone bundle. Well worth the money.

Good find. How is the NVH?

No difference. I have replaced all the mounts with 034 mounts though.

Good stuff. Just replaced my pendulum mount and dogbone recently due to some weird vibrations I was getting starting off from a stop. Once I replaced it the vibrations went away. Thought it was my clutch for the longest time...anyways back on topic.

If you take the 034 subframe mounts out and put the vibratechnics in there, you will enjoy not watching the dash rattle at idle anymore. I was really, really glad to replace those.

Does this work with the stock mount or only aftermarket ones?

this is a really good upgrade if you want to keep the stock mount and just push out the old bushing! i would've done this if i had known about vibratechnics having it.

That's weird my mounts don't vibrate the dash at all. In fact, I only notice them when it's really cold out. Did u have street or race? I have street.

This is meant to replace the small bushing in the stock mount. It may fit aftermarket mounts, but you'd have to research.

Street.
the 034 sub frame mounts were brutal. anything below 2200ish rpm shook the car like a paint shaker. only thing nice was no one wanted me to drive at lunch

the engine and tranny mount were not bad at all. i put the vibratechnics subframe and dogbone in and never looked back.

Very weird. My 034 mounts passed the gf test and she's pretty picky.
