034 Motorsports Billet Aluminum Upper Dogbone Mount Insert for VW Mk5/6 & 8P/8J Audi 034-509-1040

Performance Parts for VW/Audi: 034 Motorsports Billet Aluminum Upper Dogbone Mount Insert for VW Mk5/6 Golf/GTI/R/Jetta/GLI & 8P Audi A3/S3 & 8J Audi TT/TTS/TTRS (034-509-1040)

Product Features:

The lower dogbone mount insert limits compliance of the lower dogbone mount puck by filling large voids in the puck. During normal and spirited driving, this reduction in compliance results in more direct transitional response of the drivetrain to accelerative and decelerative forces. The driver feels more direct throttle response through the drivetrain without introducing a significant amount of NVH.

However, violent drivetrain shocks, such as burn-out induced wheel-hop, introduce additional forces that can cause damage to the dogbone mount arm. In these violent events, the lower puck motion is limited by the dogbone insert, but the upper puck in unconstrained and is free to move forward.

This means that the entire puck assembly rotates forward at an angle towards the front of the car. Because the dogbone mount arm is clamped into the puck assembly, the rotation of the puck assembly generates a bending moment applied to the dogbone mount arm that it was not designed for.

034's engineering team developed this Billet Upper Dogbone Mount Insert to solve the issue. This insert slips into the front void of the upper dogbone mount puck, limiting the forward motion of the upper puck to match the limited forward-motion of the lower puck with the lower insert installed. The result is an upper and lower insert package that eliminates the rotation inside the puck assembly during extreme drivetrain shocks, and keeps the forces acting on the dogbone arm in the direction the arm was designed for. Subsequent testing showed no signs of bending or stress in the dogbone mount arm with both the upper and lower dogbone mount inserts installed.
