Thread: Solid Dog Bone Mount Please :)

yeah I noticed that too... Not that OEM can't make these but this part already exists for people to buy.

think you should try to design it to eliminate the bracket that bolts to the block and make a solid mount that bolts to the crossmember and then bolts to the block...eliminating 1 mounting point

Yeah a solid piece from the crossmember to the block is the best idea. It eliminates any flex at all period.

Here is one that i made just out of spare metal i got from a metal shop. Used a pipe that fit the Prothane front dogbone lower mount bushing perfect and did my own crappy welding on it. It held together for 2 years before finally cracking, just rewelded it and it was good. Then the tubing where the bushing was split where i welded it to the short piece of pipe going to the block.

If you were to make it out of a nice solid aluminum or steel it would be alot better.

This mount already exists! Custom steel makes it and GregV sells it...

Let alone I made one also and there was 0 interest in them. I used steel, I ended up selling pieces because no one wanted to buy them made.

very true but good luck getting one...I waited months for mine along with the solid shifter stabilizer bracket

i shattered that thing the first day i had it lol

or if you knew how to weld that would help too i would not trust my motor on that weld this piece should really be tig welded or atleast desently miged

We can make the ones in the first pic for $25 shipped.

How much to make the bottom section a larger diameter so a factory bushing could be pressed in?
