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 2 (Sep/2015-up) 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.

                Buy it. Spend the $$$
                Size: 3 Pack, Size: 3 Pack
                Glad I spent the extra money and got the rollers with the ball bearings. The 3 pack came in handy. Very good quality. If you are doing more than 1 area, you will need these.

                A Must Have For Sound Deadening Materials
                Size: 3 Pack
                I applied Silex sound deadening material to the rear interior of a Ford Maverick truck cab. Lots of narrow areas, and lots of curved surfaces. This set was a must to properly apply the mats to the metal surface. There were places that I had to push down with my fingers due to obstacles like seat belt mounts, but I could tell that I was not getting the same results as I was with the crimped rollers.

                Would recommend
                Size: 10 sqft
                I used this sound deadening material in my car during an audio and interior upgrade, and the difference was noticeable immediately. Road noise, vibrations, and rattling were reduced a lot, especially on the doors and floor panels. The car feels much quieter and more solid while driving now. The material was easy to cut and apply, and the adhesive stuck very well without peeling up. It has a quality feel to it and conforms nicely around curves and tight areas. I also noticed my speakers sound cleaner and have better bass response after installing it. For the price, this sound deadening material is a great value and definitely worth it if you want a quieter ride and better overall sound quality in your vehicle.

                Worth it!
                Size: 50 sqft
                I was worried it wouldn't work as well since it's 50 mil and I thought I got the wrong thing. Nope! Works great. Did all four doors on my 93 civic and I have enough for the floor I think. Solid price. Noise reduced by about 5 decibels hive difference. Very sticky and easy to apply I'm so happy I was able to cover most all of my car. If I need more, definitely buying this since I got so much extra and I thought I would. PS: that five decibel thing is only with the four doors. My firewall is next and then my floor, but it's such a huge difference

                Quiet your vehicle noises
                Size: 50 sqft
                Put this in our high roof van and couldn’t believe how much quieter it was at once. Really cut down on the vibration noise Nice and easy to install just peel n stick. Was also easy to cut with scissors for smaller areas. Seemed to be really nice quality. Didn’t notice any odor.
