Powerflex Black Engine Mount Insert | Renault Clio 16S RS1

The risks of a tired OEM dog bone mount: what your drivetrain stands to lose

On a hot hatch pushed hard during spirited driving, track days, or rally stages, retaining a soft or cracked factory rubber dog bone mount allows excessive fore-and-aft engine movement. This rocking motion introduces unwanted throttle lag on re-acceleration, ruins gear shifting precision under high load, and puts heavy strain on upper engine mounts and the exhaust system.

Over time, ignoring this engine play leads to premature exhaust manifold cracking, early CV joint wear, and gear popping during aggressive cornering. Installing the Powerflex Black Series PFF60206K-BLK engine mount insert kit instantly stops unwanted pitch: power transfers directly to the tarmac, gear shifts become crisp, and vital transmission components are protected.

Crafted from ultra-rigid black polyurethane (95 Shore A), the Powerflex Black Series lineup delivers exceptional mechanical resistance against oils and high engine bay temperatures without flexing under load.

95 Shore A polyurethane insert, perfect alignment, and drivetrain stabilization

This reinforced insert kit fills the voids of the original mount without requiring complex press work or complete fabrication. It provides the most cost-effective solution for bushing maintenance, drivetrain stabilization, and chassis performance customization for your sports vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions about Powerflex PFF60206K-BLK (FAQ)

Is it necessary to remove the dog bone link to install the insert?
Yes, removing the original mount is required to properly seat the polyurethane inserts into the void pockets, but installation is straightforward and does not require a hydraulic press.

Does the Black Series kit increase cabin NVH (vibrations)?
The 95 Shore A material in the Black Series is designed for pure track/race performance. A slight increase in idle vibration may be noticed inside the cabin, which is heavily outweighed by the dramatic improvement in shifting precision and engine stability.
