Well, based om these answers I think I might as well order all the powerflex bushings and get them fitted. The upper arm shouldn't be difficult to fit, nor the dog bone bushings, but what about the last mount, the lower engine mount insert? Is this one difficult to change? This way I replace all...

Your answers are really appreciated and help me alot! So am I to conclude that only the bushings may need changing and that the actual lower or upper mount in themselves are all right? In that case, yes, it would save me a lot of money if I can only replace the lower stabilizer bushings, and not...

I only run my car during the summers (mean Winters in Sweden), so I like to deive actively but not near track-use! I'm just afraid that replacing only the bushes might not be enough, or that in is a more difficult procedure. If so I might as well go with the solid black one from KTec I guess?

Is the lower mount provided by KTec the solid mount in black on their website? Or is it better that I go with the inserts only instead of the complete dog bone? I'm a bit lost as you can see :-)

Seems that way. I'll just have to leave it alone until I've found a new dog bone. If this is the issue, I think I'll go for the one Ktec is selling, that should be the "Uprated lower stabilizer mount" that is the dog bone, correct?

Thanks for the replys. I'll have them check it. Strange to happen on a car that has done 50 000 km but maybe it is the application that makes it prone to wear.

Should I considered the top mount that I just changed ruined? The car is going to a garage in about a weeks time so I'll ask them to check the dog bone. If this is worn, should I replace the lower dog bone, and the upper one once again, or will replacing the lower one make the play in the upper...

No, haven't checked the other mounts. Are they difficult to check/expensive to buy new OEMs? Could that be the reason the other mount has some play after just 100 km?

The jerk had not come back in the sense that I cannot feel it when I drive the car, and the sound I heard before I changed the mount has also gone. However, when I just had it changed I could feel no play at all. 100 km later I could feel some play with my hand, just not a severe as before the...

That is really a relief! I was thinking about replacing it with a powerflex but then there is no need! Big Thanks for your reply!

I've had a small engine jerk due to play in the upper dog bone mount (I believe it's this one) so I changed it to a new OEM mount. About 100 km later (!) I opened the bonnet and had a feel, and there is a bit of play all ready!! I can't feel it when driving the car, like the last mount, but is...

Thanks alot! :-)

Thanks for the effort. I'm looking to sell my car and it feels unkind to the new owner (who might not be an R27 specialist) to simply advertise it as production year = registered date, even if I've seen this happen...

This was my first thought as well, as they where produced to celebrate the 2006 championship. Perhaps the unlimited run of cars (non-UK cars) where produced until 2008 or 2009? Thank you!

Mine is a Liquid Yellow car, bought from Germany. No. 2711.

Hi! I've done a search here and on the rest of the WWW, but cannot seem to find during what years the 197 R27 was produced. I've bought my used gorgeous LY car from Germany back in 2012 but cannot seem to find any other date than when it was first registered (2009-03). My plate by the...

Thank you! Here is a picture!

I'm a new member to this page and thought I'd introduce myself and my car. After all, I'm off to pick it up today. I imported my Liquid Yellow R27 four years ago from Gerrmany, and lucka me, my unseen buy was brilliant when I first say it in the raw. Now, up for a service on Tuesday I hope to...

Looks brilliant!
