Billet Aluminum Dogbone Mount Insert Pair

The 034Motorsport Billet Aluminum Upper & Lower Dogbone Mount Insert Pair is engineered for Volkswagen and Audi MQB and MQB EVO platforms, including the 8V/8S Audi A3/S3/TT/TTS and MkVII VW Golf/GTI/R, as well as the 8V.5/8S Audi RS3/TTRS. This comprehensive kit includes both the Upper and Lower Dogbone Mount Inserts, along with new OEM Torque-to-Yield (TTY) installation hardware, which are single-use bolts that stretch upon tightening. By filling the large voids in the factory dogbone mount, these precision-machined T6-6061 billet aluminum inserts significantly reduce transmission and engine movement during shifting and deceleration. This design leads to a more direct and connected driving feel, with drastically improved shifting performance resulting in crisper gear changes. Unlike polyurethane options, the billet aluminum construction ensures longevity and prevents packing and wear over time. The upper insert is crucial for preventing damage to the dogbone mount arm during aggressive driving events like wheel-hop, which can cause excessive bending moments on the arm. It is important to note that some MQB models feature different factory dogbone mounts. Buyers must visually verify their specific mount using the provided guide to ensure correct fitment and select the appropriate Version 1 or Version 2 Lower Dogbone Mount Insert. The product comes with a clear anodized finish for durability and is backed by a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser. Installation is straightforward and can typically be completed in under an hour.
