Where did you get the insert from?

Got one from ECS for a "B6 Passat 4mo" and it doesn't fit. :(

aw, shit, i need to replace the entire bushing, no wonder why the tyre shop guy told me they'll have to remove the subframe.

The problem with this insert is that in reducing the movement of the engine under acceleration etc, that energy needs to go elsewhere- probably through the engine mounts which will translate into more vibration and stress on other parts of the car. The rubber insert you've put in isn't so bad, but the metal offerings from APR have already been given some negative feedback for this very reason - too harsh.
