Street Density Dogbone Mount Pair

The 034Motorsport Street Density Dogbone Mount Pair is engineered as a performance upgrade for the factory rubber dogbone mounts found in Volkswagen and Audi MQB and MQB EVO vehicles. This set is crafted from a higher-durometer 65 durometer rubber, compared to the stock 55 durometer, and features an upgraded steel thread insert in the upper mount to significantly enhance resistance against thread stripping – a common issue with the factory aluminum insert. This direct-fit replacement aims to provide a noticeable improvement in driving dynamics. By reducing drivetrain movement and decreasing engine movement under load, it facilitates more direct power transfer to the wheels. Drivers can expect crisper shifting and a reduction in wheel hop, contributing to a more engaging driving experience. The manufacturer states that this upgrade offers minimal noticeable increase in noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH) within the cabin. 034Motorsport rates the NVH levels as low to medium. NVH may be more pronounced in vehicles equipped with DSG or Tiptronic transmissions, or if the factory engine/transmission mounts are worn. The company recommends a break-in period of at least 250 miles after installation for the mounts to settle. Installation is complex, requiring the removal of the front subframe and specialized tools like a press for mount replacement. Therefore, professional installation by a qualified Audi/Volkswagen specialist is strongly recommended. The Street Density Dogbone Mount Pair is compatible with other 034Motorsport MQB drivetrain upgrades, including their Version 1 MQB Lower Dogbone Mount Insert, Upper Insert, and Spherical Dogbone. The kit includes the necessary OEM dogbone mount bolt (VAG-N91201001) for installation.
