Here are some pics of the dogbone with the SuperPro bushings. Install pics included.
This one shows the old bone with the new bone installed.
A good shot of the large end which is 65mm for us auto tranny guys.
Hello All,
Yes, I know I told you I would be gone for a while due to matters of a personal nature but, we ( the Solara Community) really need this modification and the good folks at SuperPro have come through for us.
Please see their e-mail below from Down Under and get ready to be excited!
Some words from "Down Under"
The SuperPro bushing has been designed to reduce the amount of engine movement under load. (I.e. acceleration/deceleration.)
This part will reduce the movement by approximately 55% when compared to a new OEM rubber sample.
We have incorporated "SuperPro Turbo" style voiding which allows this improvement, without inducing excessive noise or vibration into the vehicle. Any high frequency vibration is absorbed by the turbo pattern.
As the actual dog bone arm is easily removed from the vehicle, and has to be, for the removal of the original bushing, we have designed the new part as a one-piece cotton-reel style. Although it may be a little harder to install initially, the cotton-reel style allows the features above
to be incorporated. It also, is then self-contained in the arm, (i.e. can not squash out)
A hydraulic press is required to remove the OEM part, of this same part. It can also be used to press the new SuperPro part into place. If a hydraulic press is not available... the new part can pressed into place with a large bench vice, a G-Clamp or drawn into place with a section of threaded rod and large washers.
Once sample parts are test fitted / driven and approved by Greg (Paladin06) the part number will be, SPF2706K x 1 (enough bushes in kit to complete both ends of the Dog Bone Mount) Large end of Dog Bone mount 65mm inside diameter. Greg has assured us he will test drive and report to us ASAP!
FYI - If your vehicle has, "Large end of Dog Bone mount 50mm inside diameter you need to order part number SPF1348K x 1
(again, one kit has enough bushes to complete both ends of the Dog Bone Mount)
Greg has provided the vehicles that these bushings are applicable too. If in doubt, see Greg's earlier post or contact Greg at paladin06@comcast.net.
