02 P5, manual
Love my progress bar. But it ate my stock endlinks, so I upgraded to the Home Depot ones someone here was making. Sweet.

I had it stuffed in my oem mounts with oem bushings, but the squealing drove me nuts, as did removing them monthly to lube. So I broke out the Energy Suspension bushings and mounts with zerk fittings. Unfortunatly those are flat/straight, and must be manhandled into fitting the p5. I couldn't, so I paid a shop to. The had a hell of a time, and now won't speak to me.

It's been making stupid noises, turns out a bolt was loose. Fine, I tightened it. But today it snapped the mount clean off, bolts are tight and intact. It now clunks like a donkey over every bump.

I NEED A FSCKING MOUNT THAT FITS GOAWDAMMIT! What the hell has every other progress owner done?
 
Take it off, lol

When you have the Energy suspension brackets. Find the angle that you need and bend it with a vise (so its flush with the rear subframe.

Then get some beefy Endlinks. =)
 
I'm getting close to going oem all the way, but it's just SOOO good, when it's all hooked up and working right. I snapped the ES bracket, why would I pay another $80 to have it put on again? Isn't there a better solution? What does AWR use?
 
I just installed the old bracket and crappy bushing. At least when it starts squeaking, it'll only squeak half as much as before.
