This is a Universal Fitting Product
Product Information
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.
Features:
- Limits unwanted vibrations
- Durable and long lasting
- Polyurethane construction
- Perfect replacement for OEM inserts
What's Included:
- Torque arm / dogbone polyurethane insert
- Laser cut washer
- Steel spacer
- High strength grade 10.9 replacement bolt

BFI insert
Amazing product does the job with very little vibration. Definitely worth buying.
Dog bone mount
Shipping came quick also ordered the solid front lower control arm bushings and you can feel how crispy every shift is, the only down side is that you do feel your car vibrate more(depending on your set up), and overall I would recommend this.
Great for reducing wheel hop
Does exactly as intended and reduces wheel hop on launch. Easy install (20 mins or so) and instant payoff. Only downside is a bit more NVH, only really noticeable in reverse and on hills. Overall a great value in changing your car’s handling.
Daily driver+
I installed the stage 1 insert on my 19 Tiguan. I had previously installed a metal dogbone insert and the vibrations were too much for me to want to deal with. But with this, the install was smooth (purchase 21mm & 22mm sockets), took about 10 mins on a parked car no jacks. The vibrations only come out during reverse and they aren’t that bad then. Acceleration feels more direct and connected while still providing a smooth feeling. This is perfect for daily driving that you want a smidge more performance out of. I’m sure the Stage 2 insert will deliver an even more connected experience, but with more vibrations and rattles to go along with it. This is a great purchase for under $40 with an instant payoff.
Feel the difference with something so small
Such a small thing makes a huge impact plus helps eliminate wheel hop so why not invest in a dog bone!
