Has anyone tried this?

 

Sounds like a pretty good idea to me, seeing as MY dogbone bushing are completely shot.

 

I'm sure someone else's bushings are bad, or at least GOING bad

 

Well Anyways,

These are prettier. Also, at least on the 3.4 DOHC, the stock cast ones have broken before.

They get the most attention and people think my engine must be something special if i have them on.

Park downhill to change the plugs? Good idea. I don't even unbolt the dogbones. I pull the alt. off. Takes me about 45 seconds to get it off.

I'm thinking maybe I'll polish the stock bones and paint them...

There is a solid rubber Main engine mount from two companies, LNS and Westar. I think that's a better thing in my opinon. If your torque struts are in good shape and you install this mount, the engine won't move much not only that it won't vibrate the car apart. It give alittl more vibration but its not obtrusive. So far my Torque struts haven't died since I installed that mount. Also it won't not stress the tie bar as much as since most of the motion is cancled at the bottom. Its a tough piee of rubber, runs for $40-45. I recommend it.
