Anyone using the Powerflex hybrid dogbone puck?

Sounds like you should be fine.

PS
Your signature is super distracting with a font size larger than your messages. Just my 2c.
Thanks. Fixed the signature.

Don’t see how that could be the cause.
Tires/spacers. Check your rear wheels

This vibration is new. Not the wheels, tires or spacers. I all have been replaced and vibration remains. The Powerflex washer is so close to contacting the subframe, I was wondering if, at certain RPM, it actually touched and was what I was feeling. When first installed 2 years ago, it was nicely centered. I checked the dogbone bolt tightness, and upper motor mount (BFI) bolts. Checked bolts on the Strut brace, hatch brace and lower rear subframe brace. All are tight. Still need to check upper trans mount bolts (BFI insert).

Ah, I had a similar vibration from a broken rear spacer lip. Maybe you could perhaps do a test with a dab of paint and see if they’re making contact?

Haven’t read this whole thread yet, I plan to but I would like to swap out my BFI Stg2 insert for a Powerflex. Which dogbone mounts work with this insert as I plan to upgrade from OEM while I’m in there. Thanks.

If you have a 6 speed then grab the roceuro arm.

For the 7 speed, not much out there. Apr basically which seems fine but one guy bent his.

Why wouldn't you recommend the roceuro arm? It's better than the other offerings. Wish they made one for the 7 spd

Because 2-4 people didn’t tighten down the bolts (or the bolts initially with the kits had back out issues) or the owners did not pair thier setups well tighter and were using a super solid dog bone setup with stock or o34 motor mounts that allowed too much movement and stress on that arm/bolts in vertical manner...

My roc -euro arms been on my car now for 3-4K and I’m not easy on my car with launch’s or shifts especially with the way the twin disc grabs! Nor is my car a mild stage 1 or 3 car in the power department. No issues at all.

I recall reading about a user that destroyed his Trans housing with the RocEuro but it boiled down to user error if I recall correctly.

Yeah I figured DDW was referring to the guy who cracked his trans housing.

You cant believe everything you read on the internet. Half the shit (or more) that people post on here as "product issues" is user error and they wont admit it.
