Dog Bone Bush With Miltek

[Madone]

Hi,

Fitted my new turbo back Miltek yesterday and included in the box it transpires was a SuperPro Lower Torque Arm insert bush, however as there was no instructions or reference to what it was we didn't fit it. After a bit of research i now know what it is.

Is the worth fitting ?,what are the downsides ?, more vibration etc ?

How hard is it to fit, its a real pain as the car was on the ramp yesterday and would have been much easier then i am sure !

Cheers

It takes 5 mins to put it in. Not much extra vibration... but helps to stop the engine rocking and destroying weak exhaust hangers.

Can it be done on axle stands ?, I don't want to have to go back to the garage that fitted the exhaust.

Did mine on axle stands

Did mine on the driveway, car on (railway sleeper) ramps. As long as you have a torque wrench, it really is just a case of undoing one bolt, greasing up insert, sliding in then doing it back up.  I believe tightening torque is 74 ft/lbs , plus do a quarter turn once at correct torque. (check that torque tho).
I have no extra vibration, in fact the engine used to transmit a slight shudder occasionally at tick-over (prob a slightly dirty injector i thought), this has gone now with the bush added. So I 'know' it reduces movement, but I reckon any other effects I can feel are probably placebo.

The standard bushes wear quick on a standard car, with the downpipe the bush will wear quicker hence why they are now included with Milltek downpipes :)

Fitted it on the drive, fairly simple to do and made a massive difference !, well worth doing !, no  extra vibration but a massive improvement in gear change and general engine movement 

Cheers all
