Drive doesn't make much of a diff compared to passenger. You only need to do driver if its totally shot. When we did the driver side on my Kona after 110k it didn't look much diff than the new oem.

how bad do you think vibration would be with poly inserts on just dogbone?

Man ... I need to find a way to jump in during the day. lol

I also have All 3 and they feel great to me.

When they were new, the vibration at idle was very strong and apparent. Now, 3 years later and broken in ... no worries. Still vibration, but not that bad at all.

When you get on it, the engine feels solid and the drive feels great.

Oh and BTW, through 2 years of strong AutoX ... still going pretty good.

But now, I finally need to change out the Dogbone (rear) mount. Not because it split, but because the Poly is falling out. Interesting. But not broken. YAY

Well, the good thing ... they aren't too expensive.

The Stock one should be around 50-65 bucks and a Poly Race one around 100-110.
