Hi.

Where would be the best place to purchase the lower rear engine/gearbox (Dogbone) mounting bracket from ?.

Is it best to stick with the standard type or go for the Cupra one as per some on here & live with the extra Vibes that some seem to get !!??

Does anyone have any part numbers for the Cupra one Etc ?.

many thanks

Dean

For a 53 Plate Fabia Vrs Almost forgot that Bit !

Go to the jabba site , they have a uprated dogbone mount on there

dont know why people go for these uprated items, mines a 53 plate and ive got no movement in the gear stick at all when letting off the clutch etc

mine either!

stick to standard , unless you like excess vibrations through the whole car

although i think Jabba now do their uprated one with a bush with holes drilled in it

thats not really the reason? it holds the engine in place firmer to stop the engine rocking so much through gear changes/acceleration. It should in theory help a little with performance.

I think a lot of people go for an uprated one because the stock ones are a little weak. I know mine was and was making clunking noises changing up. Changed it for another stock one as i don't fancy the vibes

pffffffffftttt

drilling holes - nonsense... im running the jabba full stiffness one... love it kinda drones out the chatter from the SMF

OP you have PM

to be honest i dont even notice it anymore

Thing that I think about is what damage all the extra vibrations can cause over time. An example is the Clio 172/182. Their engine mounts suffer from the power. Peope have tried uprated mounts but this causes problems elsewhere.

Does anyone know the part number for the Cupra one?

Does anyone know the part number for the Cupra one?

I think you're getting confused... this is a post about the dogbone mount, NOT the cupra console bushes...

I don't think you can fit or would benefit from using the dogbone mount from a cupra? I think you mean more the jabba sport custom one. I could be wrong.

The part number above is definitely not for a dogbone mount though

If only dogbone mounts were £7 lol looking at more like 70 for a standard and 90+ for uprated iirc

Hi,

The dog bone mount on your Fabia is exactly the same as the one on a Cupra, We can offer 2 differnt types now, the full on Vibra-technics one which comes out at £135.70 this can be found here; Vibra-Technics Torque Link (Dog Bone)

Or we do just a replacement polybush to fit into the original dogbone mount, these come to £65inc vat.

Hope this helps

Thats because its a cable change selector, not the old type rod change or streight off of the gearbox

The dog bone mount is to control the movement of the engine which can cause problems if it gets too much!
