The RacingLine Twin Dogbone Mount Insert is an essential upgrade for MQB and MQB Evo vehicles, offering a significant enhancement in drivetrain stability. By installing both upper and lower inserts into the factory lower engine mount, the drivetrain's location is stiffened, resulting in a tighter and more responsive driving experience. This order includes Version 2 of the insert.
The Twin Dogbone Insert reduces the compliance of the lower engine mount by filling its voids with two billet inserts, controlling the foreward/backwards rocking movement of the drivetrain. This added strength helps prevent future wear and breakages. Unlike single insert solutions, the Twin Dogbone Insert uses two precision-machined billet inserts to maintain balanced forces and avoid damaging bending moments.
Wheel-hop during hard acceleration is significantly reduced, as the engine and gearbox assembly are firmly stabilized, especially beneficial for FWD cars. The installation of the Twin Inserts results in only a minimal increase in NVH, while enhancing the driver's connection to the vehicle with a subtle growl.
Each insert is crafted from T6061 Aluminium and finished with a black anodised coating for long-lasting durability. Installation is straightforward and does not require subframe removal, making it a quick upgrade.
For very high power and track cars, RacingLine offers a full replacement Dogbone and Lower Engine Mount, which provides greater performance but with increased NVH. To ensure compatibility, visually verify the factory mount on your vehicle. This order is for Version 2 Insert, compatible with OE part: 5Q0 198 037 F. Version 1 Insert is available for OE part: 5Q0 198 037 A.
