Best place to get a Ph1 172 "dogbone" bush?

[Parabolica]

Howdy,

I need to replace the bottom engine/gearbox mount bush on my 01 Clio 172 as I have the usual crashing and bashing at the exhaust into the subframe. The bush is pretty knackered.

I hear Powerflex ones are the business. Im in New Zealand and if I go to renault they will only sell me the whole mount which has to be freighted in from France at huge expense.
I only want to press out the big bush and press in a replacement. I also understand the powerflex ones add vibration to the drivetrain and can cause the other standard mounts to break. For road use is it really that bad? I used to daily drive a Lancer Evo 2 rally car and a caterham 7 so I am used to vibration and noise so its not an issue.

Any help appreciated!

one of the best things you can do IMO. even the vibration will fade as the bush beds in a little.

Ktec or Kam racing would be the best to speak to for international shipping

Most stick to the purple ones (without sounding too technical )
