Poly-bush Lower engine mount fitting

[DrewBear11]

Hiya guys, i having the power-flex poly bush's fitted to the lower engine mount next week by a local garage, im gonna ask them to check over the other mounts at the same time too

They've asked me if i can get some pictures or guides for fitting it...

Does anyone have any pics info for fitting that i can give to them ??

Much appreciated !

its 2 bolts, just remove old one replace bushes and re fit, you shouldnt really need a garage to do it tbh.

Yeah i could have a go, just dont fancy something going wrong and being stuck on the driveway.

So its the same concept as the dogbone then ? Make sure the thicker end of the smaller bush's is up against the engine ?

Sorry, for some reason i thought you were doing the dogbone

i think the dogbone is the one you are having changed. the only powerflex engine bush/mount for the clio is the dogbone. is it this one?

if so, the smaller part of the smalle bush goes up against the engine. if the larger part goes against the engine, you get more play = more vibration etc etc

Where do the washers go then?

yeah it looks exactly like that, i take it is the dogbone mount then.

when i ordered the mount it was called poly bushes lower engine mount for 182 (twisted type mount)

I was advised by one of the traders on here to change it, as my exhaust keeps blowing on the centre join. When revving you can see the cat moving up and down underneath which i reckon is causing the seal to keep going.... And the trader said changing the lower engine mount will help the issue as it controls the most engine movement.

But i take it the dogdone mount affects the gearbox movement mainly ?

It reduces the amount the engine AND gearbox move back and forth

Washers go top and bottom of the gearbox end.

Just to confirm, the two washers go on the top and bottom part of the smaller of the two bushes, is that right?
