    I was looking at these Zzp dog bones and thought they would look sharp but did not want to experience a rough ride. They seem to be an exact match. Can anyone confirm or deny if I will notice a difference in smoothness of ride? Thanks for the feedback


    Anyone has an alternate suggestions on brand Please throw it out there.

    Those are getting pretty slick and tempting, now. You'll hardly notice a ride difference, because they're using regular rubber bushings on the engine-side. The cradle motor mounts do a lot of absorbing of vibration, but going poly on the upper mount squares on the radiator support would stiffen it up some (or rotating the rubber factory ones).

    I got poly dogbone bushings. They did make it vibrate more. But then when I put in new transmission and motor mount the vibrations went away. And it could just be placebo but it did feel a tiny bit snappier off the line. Placebo or not I liked it.

    Can anyone tell me why the 3800s have two dog bones and the L4 has only one? Is it possible the LS4 vibrates less?

    the ls4 has an additional mount at the differential housing that the v6 does not. as youll notice, there's a lack of space on the ls4 cars
