Lower rear engine mount bush has gone bouncy as hell whats the best replacement?

[DanHam]

I went for Powerflex.

[eric87]

What symptoms are there when its gone?

[jordjj]

Is that a question or are you trying to help? My engine was just rocking like mad at times, just jacked it up crawled underneath and could see the bush was nackered

[eric87]

It was a question... would it also rock alot when starting and turning off engine?

[jordjj]

Yeh more so really, you can move my engine quite easily when you push on it with that bush gone

Superpro is an Australian company making PU replacement bushes, Powerflex is a British company making PU replacement bushes. They perform exactly the same because they are the same so your purchasing decision is simple; Buy whichever you can get cheaper or buy British.

I've just gone for the Powerflex one. Engine movement has been reduced for a little bit of vibration on idle. Hardly noticable with it being a diesel anyway. 

I used this http://www.powerflex.co.uk/road-series/product-details/Lower+Engine+Mount+Large+Bush+%28Diesel%29/2067.html as its designed for the diesel due to the lower shore rating.

Any links to it kiddy? Can this be fitted with basic tools? Or is a press needed?
