Benifit of Installing Circular Bushing In Lower Dogbone Mount?

I have recently installed the Energy Suspension inserts for the lower dogbone mount. I did no have access to a press at the time of install so I did not use the circular mount. My question is, what is the benifit of using the circular mount? The only posts I have read are about how much extra vibration there is, but not what performance gain there is. I don't mind the vibration as long as there is some benefit to installing it. Any opinions?

I have all 3 in and don't mind it. The vibration is a bit annoying at first...but I've gotten used to it. With all 3 installed, you will reduce wheel hop even more, at the expense of the added vibration of the 3rd piece.

Install only took about 15 minutes. That was using a lift and air tools though. I work in Sharonville and live in Mason. If you want I can help you with the install. Send me an IM or an email [email protected]

The third piece? I just took out one of the other bushings on my Autotech set up because I found the two unbelievably harsh.
