The factory bushings do a satisfactory job, while limiting vibrations, but only during sedate driving conditions. When pushed hard, those bushings flex creating a vague feeling in the engine and gearbox and adding to the dreaded wheel hop phenomenon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003eOur pendulum mount torque arm insert fills the voids in the stock rubber bushing, making what was a soft rubber bushing with voids into what behaves like a solid mount.
