I want to know if anyone has changed the bushings for this mount:



If you have what difference did it make? Are there benefits? I upgraded the mount in this location on my VW and it made a huge difference in launching. It drastically reduced the wheel hop that VW's have. Any help is much appreciated.

 

The only bushings I've seen are the Powerflex.
I have the uppers and they work fine. The lower bushing sleeve didn't run a tight enough tolerance to the bolt to make me happy. This was pointed out to me by Randy Webb. So I'm not running the lower.
Doing the upper alone did a nice job but did up the NVH a bit.

 

Thanks Anyone else

Thank you, that was most helpful . Any other experiences out there?

 

I have all the powerflex bushings and the engine damper. Engine movement is almost non existant but there is definitly more vibration. But its not that bad. All the power is straight to the ground !

 

Do you have steering rack bushings as well?

They're tempting.

 

I currently have PowerFlex (yellow and purple), but might go back to Delrin at the top or bottom...

Yep I have those too as well as the front control arm bushings.

 

Thanks Brian, and it was nice meeting you up in Barstow at the pit stop. I had the CR/B MCS with the uberlondon lightbar like yours...oh and the kilt. I have decided to go with the Powerflex bushings, they aren't expensive so it wouldn't be a big loss if I didn't like them. Is it hard to change the bushings without special tools?

 

easy to change with a jack and simple tools. I think you are thinking of cory with the lightbar like yours. I didnt have my car I was driving the truck/trailer in barstow with chris and emily. I do remember you though.

 

Thoughts?
Worth it or not? What changes did you notice?

 

much more precise when entering a fast corner and you can feel the power going to the wheels instantly instead of the sloppy tock setup.

 

OOOPS, my mistake, I remember now. Well it was cool hanging out with there all day in the oven. Thank's again
