LMFAO

I'll stick with my £15 GSf one and a £10 tube of sealant thanks.

Or just rotate teh rubber inner so the bulk of therubber is in teh directiion of the forces acting on it

I've heard of those GSF Dogbones going after hitting a bump in the road..

Think it had a bit of wheel spin, hit a bump and boom. :P

Boom what, not gonna make the engine drop out, it stabalises it

Ok

"no more engine stabalising", then..

I didn't mean boom as in, "BANG, Engine is now under the car" :P

If your dogbone mount has gone, you'll notice excessive movement in the gearstick.

As Lunner says, it just stabalises the engine.. but if it's gone, it'll put more stress on everything else, so best to get it changed etc..

PROPER method of removing an engine lol

Drop car, remove mounts, lift car, drag engine out
