Whats The Diffrence Between Group N And A

[pugbliss 0]

As topic title..... what is the diff between group N and group A parts????

cheers

Generally Group N are a harder rubber than stock and Group A are solid mounts, e.g. no rubber.

Grp. N rattle out your fillings and Grp. A rattle out your teeth

Group 'N' parts are baically factory parts in many cases but a good excuse to sell std parts at higher prices but most of the suspension and engine mount's are made from a harder rubber and as Josh has said the vibes are there but only really on tick over, when moving you don;t really notice them at all

GrpA mounts are for people with no practical sense at all......totally and utterly pointless on road & track cars.

 

Maybe if you have a race car and have the talent to drive it competitively then GrpA might be of use to you.

so basically what you are all saying is i dont need anything other than standard mounts etc etc for a road car?

Agreed, but the only exception to that rule would be the solid rear beam mounts. For those that want to remove the loading on the rear beam mounts and the standard LOOS behaviour.

I don't think that's right.

 

Polybushes on the wishbones last longer and a group N bottom mount makes gear changes 10x better.

look for BBM bushes they are a good shout for the 205.

 

They do hard rubber mountings for the engine and solid rear beam mounts also very good.

no they don't...ask Dino!

[Dino 3]

Ha!!!!!!

 

Poly bushes are a JOKE! I had two sets annihilate themselves in no time - total waste of money!

So is that the general opinion of the forum or just your experience with them?

 

I'm sure there are many people who use them on here and would recommend them?

^ i had no trouble with the set i used although they only did about 30k

 

they're likely fine if they're fitted properly - they need assembling with copper grease whilst the bolts should be tightened with the weight of the car on the suspension

 

one thing's for sure though - they feel no different to standard; i wouldn't bother for that reason alone (plus, they're expensive)

I would never go for polybushes over standard Peugeot wishbone bushes again. Mine too didn't last well (led a very hard life!) and the standard ones are cheap at £15 for a full set with new nuts and bolts, very stiff (due to metal content and hard rubber).

That's my experience with them - I can't speak for the forum as it isn't my place to!

We are talking about P Flex ones thou, I know in Dino's case both set's where fitted correctly and they still didn;t last 5 min's, And I don;t think there any stiffer than the std Pug ones

[Jrod 7]

So does it depend on which make they are or are they all the same?

Put your 205 on a rolling road,open the bonnet and if it has standard engine mounts then watch how it jumps about!!!Theres no dispute this will affect the cars handling.Put group N or group A mounts in and then see the difference but the trade off is that on on idle it will vibrate the living hell out of every bone in your body!!!!Comes down to compromise....what do you want from your car?
