dogbone bushing dead....

[watson83]

Today while under my car doing dsg oil change and engine oil change finally found the annouying rattle I've been having trouble finding. The front bushing on the dogbone engine mount that bolts to the engine has completely split. Have been looking around but have only found aftermarket replacement for the rear bushing. Does anyone know if the bushing itself can be replaced or am I up for a new dogbone link?

Cheers in advance for any help.

Do you want an OEM (to avoid NVH) or are you looking for an upgraded bushing?

NVH???? looking at aftermarket, something stronger than the oem bushing. Found some by powerflex just need to see if any are in oz. Have only found them on eBay in GB.

Should be plenty of options available locally. Perhaps even look to a good second hand one to tide you over while you wait for an aftermarket one to arrive.

We have a wreck at work I should be able to pinch one off for the mean time.
