Buy std mounts. Not uprated!

see the ktec lower gearbox mount...when fitted does it stay that shape? as when i checked mine its definitely not that shape, it looks stretched?

anybody?

What the k-tec ones like, can't imagine them being any worse than the renault ones?

There rubsih stock might not be the stiffest things ever but uprated just cause trouble. Renault suprisingly invested a lot in a good setup.

No one ever listens when i say it though

^I do! The polyflex ones are horrendous!

There the best realy Renault invested a ton in desing Ok they weak and wear but realy thats better than being to stiff and the wear moving onto bigger more expensive bit

Sorry to bring this up, But can someone explain "how" the lower mount can break a gearbox or clutch or even put strain on it ?

From what i've read "renault invested loads" etc, yes they did, but they invested it in making sure there was a compromise between stiffness and comfort..

Reason i'm questioning it is because i had a Saxo VTS on 64k till 76k when i sold it and it had a powerflex lower engine mount (dog bone) fitted for that whole period and i can honeslty say its the best 30 pounds i spent and saw know wear in the gearbox or other mounts.. and believe me, the car didnt have an easy life...

Cheers

powerflex lower mount bushes was one of the best mods i done to my 1.2 16v BUT.......

its been one of the worst to my 172, on the 1.2 16v the other mounts were fine with the uprated bushes for thousands of miles and fine even once it was sold.

but its killed atleast one of the other mounts in less than 7k miles on my 172, so now got 4 new genuine mounts for it

Anyone wanting uprated ones;

Genuine "group N" class mounts. cost about a 1000pounds all round
