Hi guys so my front Bush in dogbone Mount has completely split (the smaller Bush)
I cannot seem to find an insertable one, I can find loads of replacement “spherical pendulum mounts” that look very similar but the Bush is facing the wrong way and it’s listed for an “8v” but they go for around £50
Anyone know or can link me to one for the 8p ???
Need one ASAP as the clunking is annoying !!
Thanks in advance

Don’t buy the powerflex bush replacement as it doesn’t fit the RS3, says it does but it doesn’t. I rotated my original bush round 90 degrees to make it stiffer so the void was filled but it gives too much vibration. So I ended up rotating it back again.Hi guys so my front Bush in dogbone Mount has completely split (the smaller Bush)

Part number for complete unit as the bush is different compared to all the others due to the raised edge

Support the gearbox with a jack as it can move making it difficult to get the bolt holes to line up when re-fitting the dog-bone.
