Suspension Brakes Most liked posts in thread: Silent Blocks for the R56S

I hear ya, i hear ya, im just not sure which parts are needed? Should i buy every bushing the car has and replace it, is that what you mean?

 

How can one tell if specific parts are worn out?

 

Ok guys thanks, ill check it out to a mechanic.

 

Ok so here is what happened. Went to a mech and he says "nah don't get the purple ones, get the black ones, purple are worse than OEM, of course black are for tracks but it wont make a difference compared with purple, nothing that you will notice on the road anyway, but they will last longer and the car has better handlling", so i say "but a friend that has installed the black, has told me that they make the car feel like driving a brick" and he says, "nah car is stiff all ready".

So things like this, make me wanna check everything and be certain of my choices. Im not saying anything against anyones suggestions but you need to see that im in the middle of them, thats why i need to check things thoroughly and do appreciate any suggestion given.

 

:confused5:

 

Any issues if one places PowerFlex LowerEngine Mount Bushes? Ive heard that with the Purple ones, when the car idles there is a tremble!

 

I have purchased the purple for the front wishbones, the Lower engine mount is a different thing.
Dave.0 how do you know that for the R56 there is no shake, u own a 1st gen Mini.
And one more thing, money isnt pouring out of my pockets in making experiments, i need to be very carefull on how to spend it, you need to respect that.

 

Id say that OK is "relative", it really depends on what roads one is driving on! Where i drive our roads are bumpy so im not sure one can really tell if they are ok or not!
