Seriously I couldn't stop laughing at him.

My bolt was also seized so that gave me trouble but the bush  :signLOL: that's just pathetic and he proves his expertise on the world wide web  :congrats:

I'd disagree to be honest, just because yours went in fine it doesn't mean it does for everyone.... You can quite clearly see he did nothing wrong, the bush was greased up and lined up correctly, but it just didn't slide in easily

My insert was a PITA to slide in, but I was a lazy so-and-so and did it without removing the dogbone, but it really did not go in easily. I ended up using my trolley jack to lift it in to place whilst I guided it in

Well he shouldn't have filmed it as it makes him look  :stupid: for not having it all the way home imho.
Trying to show the world how to fit a bush in and struggle is just too funny. hitting it with a rubber mallet and failing that he just leaves it bodged in there filthy with grease. that's unprofessional.

Are these any good on the road? Or do they just make your vision blurry and your girlfriend cross-eyed with extra cabin vibration?

They're good. You'll get a bit more vibrations but nothing major I think.

Mines been on 2 days and I cant feel any vibrations at all and I'm normally the guy that mutes the radio because I "felt/heard" a noise/knock  :grin:

They definitely do vibrate from personal use and experience  :driver:

I fitted mine Saturday and can't really feel any vibrations and I would definitely recommend it, the car feels really responsive since fitting it  :driver:

When I bought my miltek system they provide one with the exhaust. Tbh it's one of the best mods I have done. Can't say I notice any extra vibration at all, and have lost the engine movement under hard acceleration. Everything feels tighter. 100% well worth doing. Maybe different makes offer more vibration due to harder grade of rubber, not sure, but mine hasn't offered any downside.

You have to use it with the Miltek as their flexi is too small and won't last 5 minutes without it  :signLOL:

I have a Powerflex Black edition, which is a really stiff track orientated insert..... apparently....

Not a hint of vibration, 100% worth doing.

Yea found out later that the reason they provide the bush was for the flex, at the time of fitting the exhaust we wandered if it was in the box by mistake !   :laugh: :laugh::

Once I worked out what it was I fitted it asap. Nothing at all is mentioned in the miltek instructions. Wonder how many haven't been fitted !

Tbh can't see anything wrong with that installation?? Only thing he shouldn't do, was hammering the bush in lol
Title: Re: Was going through my watch list on YouTube

Everything about the installation is wrong. :P

Firstly - you don't need that much grease as when you buy a the kit it comes with a tiny sachet of grease which is adequate for the job as I've fitted my own one on/in and it literally slid in flush with no force required. but all that grease and he still failed miserably :rolleye: :laugh: :signLOL:

Second - there is no need to hammer it as the groove that it slides through is clear so there shouldn't need to be any force required.

Thirdly he's finished the job yet left the bush patially hanging out which makes him look very unprofessional  :stupid:

Forth - it looks like sh** as theres grease still all over it now even a wipe.

And finally - he couldn't even get the small washer to settle into the bush so he just shoved it up there with the huge washed and bolt hoping it may seat into position which is when the video skips  :congrats:
