Our Stage 1 Torque Arm Insert is aimed at maximizing daily comfort while still offering optimized performance gains over stock. These are the only MQB inserts available that feature a specifically engineered dimension that limits unwanted vibration, offering the best compromise available. We recommend the Stage 1 insert to majority of our customers. 


Under hard acceleration, the pendulum mount (commonly referred to as the "dogbone" or by VW as the "torque arm") acts to limit rotational movement of the engine. The factory bushings do a satisfactory job, while limiting vibrations, but only during sedate driving conditions. When pushed hard, those bushings flex creating a vague feeling in the engine and gearbox and adding to the dreaded wheel hop phenomenon.

Our pendulum mount torque arm insert fills the voids in the stock rubber bushing, making what was a soft rubber bushing with voids into what behaves like a solid mount. With the insert installed, you will notice that throttle response will feel better and your shifts will feel more crisp and defined, especially on manual transmission cars.

INCLUDES:

  • Torque arm / dogbone polyurethane insert
  • Laser cut washer
  • Steel spacer
  • High strength grade 10.9 replacement bolt


FITS:

  • All Version 1 MQB Platform Vehicles Including MK7 GOLF/GTI & 8V Audi A3/S3

 



SPECIAL NOTE:

  • You may experience some in-cabin vibrations after installing our insert. These vibrations are most noticeable in reverse and while the a/c is engaged at idle. These are normal and will subdue after approximately 1,000 miles of driving. TDI models will experiencing increased NVH compared to gasoline vehicles due to the design of the diesel engine.

              Good shirts
              Color: Black Diamond & Dots, Size: Large
              Nice shirt. Pattern true to pictures. True to size unless you're 6'2 and you want to leave the shirt untucked, it's a bit short.

              Great polos at a great price
              Color: Blue/White, Size: Large
              Pleasantly surprised at the quality of these shirts. A bit heavier of a fabric then I anticipated but will be perfect for spring and fall. The size (large) was in fact large. :)
