Don't worry about taking the old bushing out as the insert will act as an in between so reduce the play in the mount.

So just an insert in needed and some new bolts? No need to change the mount.

Still think its the DMF i'm sure i can hear pebbles in a can by the gearbox. But my engine is so noisy its hard to tell.

The arm itself would be fine but the rubber in the round bushes will be worn out but once the insert has be fitted you don't have to worry about these for many years.

r5gtt:
Here's my insert.

dazza, imho mate. I'd replace all the bushes and mounts as mentioned where they have perished or weak and wait for the dmf to have excessive wear or play and then worry about that but get the basics sorted out.  :smiley:

You can get a new bolt as it's better to have one available to hand as they do seize into the top bush.
