I bought the lemforder ones but I returned them, People on the facebook group said it's not worth the trouble to press them in. Someone said sometimes the new bushings end up with play. Who knows.

Obviously it can be done with the proper tools but it's not always a walk in the park.

Will be focusing on changing the engine mounts first, steering wheel is bouncing up and down on idle.

Yesterday I re installed my EGR block off plate, aparently I installed it facing in the wrong direction and have been driving a few weeks with a massive exhaust leak.

Put some ultracopper gasket maker and let it sit for 24 hours.
Cabin exhaust smell seems to be gone.



Need to set a day when I can have time to do both engine mounts, possibliy both engine mount ARMS need to be losened as well.
