I meant I searched the forum and didn't find anything. No need for the snark.
Also, according to that video, you need to drop everything including the exhaust just to remove the bolt? Seems like you just need to do that if you are also changing the bushing, which isn't what I asked. |

I know on the x3m40 you can replace the bolt without dropping the exhaust.

Is there anyway you can record the noise from inside the cabin with everything off (chimes, music, etc)? Trying to get a sense of how bad is the whine. Thanks! |

The bolt is removed and the entire OE bushing is pressed out. The dude also shows that on the long video. |

Yeah I'm not looking to change the bushing, just thinking of preventative maintenance, replace the bolt myself once or twice a year if it's easy. I'll take a look under today.

I’d try once a month depending on how you drive the car. The bending happens so quick and sudden.

I have Ryan's kit sitting in my garage, I'll try installing that with the 2 front mounts. If there's still clicking, I'll be ripping everything out and going back to stock |

It would be nice to know how the front and rear bushing inserts are with regard to noise/movement. |

Ordered the VTT. Have had the Einhorn sitting in a drawer for a while but never quite felt it was the right solution. The VTT sounds like the right approach for everyone but serious dragsters.

Agree with this. Einhorn on my desk, looking for another solution and the VTT seems like the way to go for a truck that won't be launched all the time. Edit - can't risk it, don't want to deal with the results of a bolt failure so just ordered the VTT insert, i'll start there and add the brace if deemed nec.
