Title: Dogbone Bushing question......Please read if you've done it.
Post by: AWeb80 on October 15, 2005, 03:23:22 PM
I really want to do this....Poly bushing swap (http://www.tpsgarage.com/TGP/Engine/motor_mount.htm).....

but none of the pics online look like the ones i need.....so i'm hesitant to order them....

Here is a place I can get them from.....The very bottom, P# 37103G (http://www.racepages.com/performance/basket.php?makeid=22&modelid=242&year=1984&partid=377&brandid=113&skipped_brand=true)

The part Numbers match in the write-up and the place to buy them, but the pics are different.

Has anyone done this?

Yeah I did it a few years back.  It's much better if you have a drill press as it will take a while to cut them.  That looks like the part on tpsgarage, but not that web site.  I would check with them before you order just to be sure.

Oh I don't know.. I bought mine from a local ricer shop that deals with wheels/mufflers/LED muffler bearings etc etc.  I got a fair price, I think $17.xx plus tax.  I only did one side and they are on the other TGP I own, which hasn't been started in almost a year.  I am planning on getting a set for myself soon, probably only doing the radiator side as that worked well on the other car with little notice in increased vibration.  I can contact them for you if you would like, hell I could buy them if you would be interested in them. I'll get two sets for you in trade for a rear STB.  :lol:

those bushing are really hard.....expect some of the engine vibration to transfure to the frame....

i did that bushing mod and didn't really like them due to the vibs....

got FFP dogbones instead

Did you do both the engine & radiator side or just one side?

I'm only going to do one side....and then go from there....

My main question is the part #'s......is 37103G the right P# for the bushings?

I did it a couple weeks ago.
It is easy with a hole saw and a drill press.
