Default Powerflex bushing installed...

Cost, $27 + shipping. <a href="https://secure17.nexternal.com/shared/StoreFront/default.asp?CS=powerflex&BusType=BtoC&Count1=10114 6876&Count2=18287301">Link to website</a>
Look for VW | Golf MK5 | 5 - Lower Engine Mount Front PFR85-505

Parts laid out. Need to separate black arm from mount. Twist and turn to pull off.

Separated. Need to break off green plastic holding metal cylinder. I started off w/ a small hole drill bit to remove center rubber. Then used a hacksaw and made two cuts about 1/2-inch apart. Used a chisel and hammer and carefully broke the plastic. The whole thing will fall out.

Install bushing. Put both polyurethane parts in first. Then use silicone spray in the center and hammer in metal part w/ rubber mallet.

Reinstall mount. Should use new bolts. Can be found on <a href="www.worldimpex.com">World Impex</a>. Bolt info: N 104 548 01 and N 102 048 04

... Now we need feedback on how it feels, improvements, side effects?

Default Reduces vibration over the neuspeed mount alone.

I've had mine on for ~4 months now. Removes about 95% of the slop in the system.
