Dogbone Question

[BRUN]

Renault or GSF ?

which do i go for, is the Renault one worth the extra cash

also, when will the powerflex one be available as i need to replace mine asap

[VIPERONE]

just inject poly urethane sealant in to the dog bone rubber seal gaps

[BRUN]

i was gonna do that to a new one

[cliokiz]

Where can that be had from gunner?

[katbloke]

bought mine from reno as i heard that gsf ones dont have the same longevity

Works a treat 8) all mine are done and it still feels like a new car.

Beware the increased idle vibrations though :? :? :? :? :? :?

[BRUN]

hmmmm, i dont want any vibrations

im guessin i should get a genuine one then

[Daz.]

they're minor but they're there - shows up rattles well so mine have mostly been fixed now 8)

[BRUN]

anyone actually had a GSF one ?

yeah they vibrate abit lol had a powerflex mount on my VTR, could feel it right through the car lol

but i didnt break anymore after that!

[BRUN]

GSF one seems to be really cheap if im looking at the right part, about £15 ?

the one from Euro Car Parts is a Sasic and is about £25

Genuine seems to be about £30/£35

done a few k on them now and you just don't notice it anymore - never had anyone in the car asking whats going on! wierdly listening to music is improved with it shaking under yer arse...

Its like a sub but without the weight :lol:

[BRUN]

does anyone have one they could measure for me please ?

im wondering how wide the large circle is, and the measurement across it, and the hole in the middle if possible

[AmDaMan]

just bought a GSF one, £13.51inc!

Will let you know how it goes.

[BRUN]

how did it go mate, fit ok ?.......stop any movement ?

[matty]

I'm needing to replace/tigerseal my Hillpower uprated one after only being on the car 2 years so not that impressed with it.

Going to get a GSF one, tigerseal it and fit that, then use the rest of the tigerseal on the hillpower one and keep as a spare.

[Chris H]

it will NEVER stop movement, to do that you need ot solidly mount the engine and it will eventually tear the welds anyway.

[Rich]

i've got a partco one on mine (will be the same pattern part as GSF use) and tbh i can't fault it as yet. seems spot on with normal driving and giving it some stick.

[Bailey_1260]

Is this the whole dogbone or just the bushes?

Would i get the same gain from the 19 mount from GSF as i would from Renault? (sorry dont know what makes them better :oops: )

[Bailey_1260]

Bugger forgot to posy what i was talking about :oops:

Vehicle Make: RENAULT
Vehicle Model: R19
Category : ENGINE & GEARBOX MOUNTS

R10148

[matty]

IIRC GSF only sell one of the parts for the R19 mount, so you still need to go to Renault.

Not sure if it the metal mount to subframe (expensive) or cheaper rubber part that goes between mount and gearbox that you can get from GSF. I suspect the latter.

[Chris H]

they only sell the mount, i.e. the rubber block, not the bracket you need as well.
