Am I twisted or what ?

[KDF]

Can someone just confirm for me that

a) the thing in the picture is a dogbone (at the back of the pic)

and

b) its a twisted one.


It looks like a twisted dogbone to me but thought I better confirm before ordering a few bits.

dont bother with the k-tec bushes imo

 

[Alan]

Bent bent bent.....bent like Scott n Ali in bed..

 

[KDF]

yes it is
dont bother with the k-tec bushes imo

How come ?



Alan, thats pretty bent.. maybe mine is defective.. dont think they are mean to be AS bent as that..

 

[Alan]

Hey anythings possible its a reno...

 

[Saner]

Should be bent a full 90degrees

 

[Munson]

Twisted 90 degrees. Looks fine to me.

 

[KDF]

lol.. i was joking

Gonna order the ktec dogbone mount, i know it can give you a bit more vibration at idle.. but it should be worth it.

 

[Big Iain]

its not the full mount its just bushes, aparantly it will f**k the others and if urs is a 51 platr look at the drivers side top mount before u replace anything mines was gubbed and it had only done 20 odd k

 

[KDF]

My drivers side top mount... look worn ?

 

[Gaz_]

well ive have the ktec ones. Been fitted for over a year, and my car has done 62 thou, no problems, a little vibration on idle though

 

[Big Iain]

cant tell from the pic but there does look like a bit of a gap at the bottom side, I replaced mine but im gonna have to do the gearbox mount aswell I think. anyone want a 172?

 

[Gaz_]

are you changine the dog bone due to the knocking/banging in 1st?

imo you are better adjusting the drivers side mount, slacken it off, 'pull' the engine as far forward as you can, then whilst the engine is still in this position, re-do up the mount, that should work

 

[Big Iain]

I tried that and I still get the knocking

 

[Gaz_]

my car was fine untill it had the cambelt done last year. (drivers side moun needs to come off/apart) So got my mate who works for renault to adjust the drivers mount as said above, and press in the ktec bushes, i get NO knocking at all, and it gets raped pretty much daily

 

[Big Iain]

since I got my exhaust fitted when acceerating hard I get a vibrating/knocking noise from where the manifold is touching the subframe at least thats where I think it is!
