034 Motorsport Upper Dogbone Mount Insert Audi A3/S3 8P, TT/TTS/TTRS 8J
 
The 034Motorsport Upper Dogbone Mount Insert (patent pending) recommended for any MkV/MkVI Volkswagen Golf/GTI/R/Jetta/GLI and 8P Audi A3 & 8J Audi TT/TTS/TTRS using any dogbone mount and lower dogbone mount insert. Aggressive driving that causes violent drivetrain movement, such as burn-outs and wheel-hop, will cause the upper and lower dogbone mount assembly to exert a bending moment on the OEM dogbone mount arm, causing it to bend, and in some cases fail. When this failure occurs, the bottom of the engine is unconstrained and the engine will cause damage to other components in the engine bay. The 034Motorsport Upper Dogbone Mount Insert eliminates these bending forces, allowing the dogbone mount to perform flawlessly during these violent events.
 
Kit Includes:
034Motorsport Upper Dogbone Mount Insert
034Motorsport Lower Dogbone Mount Insert Spacer
 
Features:
CNC machined 6061 billet aluminum upper insert
Clear anodized for a beautiful, corrosion resistant finish
Water-jet cut aluminum lower insert spacer
Lower insert spacer ensures upper and lower inserts don't touch and vibrate
Eliminates bending moment in dogbone arm
Ensures even compression of upper and lower dogbone mount pucks
Eliminates wear on lower dogbone mount puck
 
Any dogbone mount combined with a lower dogbone mount insert dramatically improves the feel and responsiveness of the drivetrain during spirited driving. However, this combination of modifications has revealed a scenario that applies forces to the dogbone mount arm that it was not designed for. These forces have been seen to break OEM dogbone mounts. While billet aluminum aftermarket dogbone mounts have proven to be significantly stronger than OEM and resist this bending force, adding the upper insert removes this bending force while evenly distributing forces on both the upper and lower dogbone mount pucks, reducing excessive wear on the lower puck.
