Default Dog bone bushing install is way to easy

ok, i did this and the new temp thing from ecs. All of the installs took less then 45 min. Easy install let me tell you.

As for this dog bone bushings, i did all 3 and dont notice any more vibration then before. Shifting for me seems quicker and my buddy seems to wonder what happend to me, since i use to shift "slowly"

other then that, nothing major special

Did you replace any of the stretch bolts or just reuse them?

Default I just reused all the parts that came stock

the one bolt that go's down the middle of the dog bone, i knew right away to use my vice and clamp it. Meaning, take the dog bone the long way, and put it in the vice, i wish i took pictures, casue this is the only way to get the stock bolt in there. I had to put a clam on the other side also, so that it all compressed equaly at the same time.

Default I did this 2day too! Got them from Suspension.com. I replaced all of the "stretch" bolts.

Bushings look to be the same as ECS but only $16.00! Per everyone's recomendation, I only used the two dog-bones and not the round bushing with the metal insert. This is a really low-cost and easy to install mod that yields a much better shifting car!<ul><li><a href="http://www.suspension.com/volks.htm">http://www.suspension.com/volks.htm</a</li></ul>
