034Motorsport is pleased to present a new performance dogbone mount (torque arm bushing) insert upgrade for the Mk5 VW R32!
Have you increased the power output of your vehicle beyond the factory figures and are in need of a performance mount solution to effectively deliver that power to the ground? Are you tired of excess engine/transmission movement hindering shift quality and performance? The factory dogbone mount is one of the weakest links in the drivetrain, and is engineered with voids that allow for movement, isolating the driver from the road.
This precision-machined billet aluminum insert is designed to fill the large voids in the factory dogbone mount, and limit transmission and engine movement without sacrificing ride quality or introducing any perceivable additional noise, vibration, or harshness into the cabin. By filling the void in the factory mount, this insert eliminates the associated slop and ensures that you're experiencing crisper shifts and a more direct, connected driving experience.
Engineered to work in unison with the factory rubber mount, this insert was designed using CAD software and thoroughly tested and refined to provide noticeable slop reduction without introducing excessive noise or vibration into the cabin, which is common with lesser designs. Unlike polyurethane insert options on the market, this billet aluminum part will not pack and wear over time, and guarantees long-lasting performance.
This mount was thoroughly tested by 034Motorsport and independent Audi/Volkswagen enthusiasts before release. Installation is very simple, can be performed in minutes, and is completely reversible.
Features:
T6-6061 Billet Aluminum Construction
CNC-Machined In-House
Clear Anodized Finish for Durability
Engineered to Fill Void In Factory Transmission Mount
Drastically Reduces Transmission Movement During Shifting & Deceleration
Improves Shifting Feel, Resulting in Crisper Shifts
Will Not Cause Additional NVH Transfer Inside Cabin
Easy, Straightforward Installation Takes Minutes!

034Motorsport Billet Aluminum Dogbone Mount Insert
Here's a picture from Audi Club Golden Gate's HPDE at Laguna Seca last Thursday, where we had an awesome time on track along with many of our customers.
It keeps getting bumped down the list by products we're running low on.
Still wondering what exactly Dogbone Mount Inserts do? You're not alone! To offer insight into the slop reduction, we made this quick comparison video of drivetrain movement from the stock Audi/Volkswagen MQB "Version 1" Dogbone Mount with/without the 034Motorsport Dogbone Mount Insert installed.
This video was shot last week using Mark's 8V Audi S3 on our Mustang AWD Dynamometer with one of the first 034-509-1022 inserts ever produced. The other mounts are still stock on this particular S3.
034Motorsport Audi/Volkswagen Dogbone Mount Inserts are designed to allow ample movement to prevent unwanted NVH transfer at startup, idle, cruise, and light-load situations, while providing a substantial reduction in drivetrain movement under load. The result is reduced wheel hop, improved shifting feel, and more direct response to throttle inputs. :thumbup:
The cash is ready when you guys want it 🤑. I already have about all the other suspension and engine parts from you guys. The pendulum arm is working well with the VWR subframe mount, but the upper mounts are still causing loose play and jolting. My transfer case is broken so I have time to wait as i get this upgraded .
I've had my insert sitting around for a while now.Just wanted to double check that when I remove the bolt there is no tension on the dogbone and it the bolt hole will stay lined up correct?I tried installing it with a ratchet but couldn't break the bolt free probably gonna need the impact gun too huh?
We recommend a breaker bar to break loose the bolt. The engine might shift slightly but you can push it by hand to align the dog bone to the correct postion so the bolt goes in smoothly.
Thanks.I finally got it in.I split a craftsman socket trying but socket #2 got it to come lose.I was surprised how much of a difference it made.The throttle feels "tighter" and "less jerkey/hesitant"on take offs.Very happy with the insert.:thumbup:
Have a clunk or a pop up front? This kit addresses the very common subframe clunk/pop/creak that presents itself when taking slow turns, entering driveways, coming to a stop, and starting from a standstill. Unlike the band-aid shims used in the factory Volkswagen Technical Service Bulletin (TSB V-401202 & Others) repair, these locking collars and upgraded bolts are a permanent, affordable solution to address the fundamental issue with the factory subframe design.
