Finally! OEM uprated small end dogbone bush.

Ordered a new dogbone from AKS and to my surprise, VW have finally ditched the voids :drinking:

Haven't fitted it yet but hopefully it will finally solve the annoying engine shunting at urban speeds when changing gear, and coming on/off the throttle.
For those not aware, the factory bush on previous versions was voided (in the fore/aft direction - bad idea!) which was good for refinement, but terrible at keeping the engine steady during gear changes.
Shout out to AKS for their continued great service. Ordered Thursday evening and arrived this morning. They also let me specify Royal Mail over DPD as I've had problems with them dumping my parcels at other people's houses without my consent, and not leaving a calling card.
RBS:
Is that an original bushing or a Vibra Technics one?? Look original VW?!
Andy:
I fitted the revo one with the vwr mount and so much better and no movement
pudding:
Original VW. It does look like the Vibratechnics one though :happy2:
For comparison, the top one is Vibratechnics and the other two are the older style OEM bush. With the newest part number dog bone, VW have basically copied what Vibratechnics did, but not quite as stiff :happy2:

Which upper mounts do you have Andy? I have the vibra small dog bone / updated bolts / original vwr subframe made by vibra / 034 street engine mounts and still find the engine rocks around too much. Perhaps the subframe bushing is now goosed after @12 years use?!?
