dog mount thingy





Whats the real name for this? Really helpful chap gave me details of how to find it etc - is it easy to replace? Expensive to get a new one? Everything rattles like a biatch at the momment, when i take it out of gear and stop accelerating there is an almighty knowcking noise towards the front right of the engine - anyone else had this? Everything seems to jerk quite a bit between gear changes and the nocking goes when accelerate slightly (maybe coz the engine isnt vibrating so much etc) Help please kiddies? I wondered why everyone was looking at my car this weekend as i drove around town and realised it sounded like someone was whacking it from the outside!!!!! (and there was me thinking people were just admiring it!)
 


I think its called a dog bone stabiliser.

you can get one from BB Performance Tuning, found here

Dont know if its an uprated one or not. Its £32.

There is also a tip here about uprating them...

Mine was making a similar noise to what you are describing. I replaced the Engine mount on the LH of the engine (Cambelt end) and it seemed to make a difference. I havent changed the dogbone yet though. That seems to usually be the culprit.

Hope this helps,



Chris.
