Description
Elevate your MQB platform's drivetrain performance and protection with the 034Motorsport Billet Aluminum Upper Dogbone Mount Insert, specifically engineered to prevent critical dogbone mount arm failure during extreme load events. This patent-pending solution is a vital upgrade for any MQB Volkswagen or Audi equipped with an aftermarket billet dogbone mount and lower insert, delivering unmatched reinforcement and drivetrain stability under high-stress driving scenarios.
034Motorsport discovered that under violent drivetrain shocks—such as burnouts that induce wheel-hop—the factory upper and lower dogbone mount pucks allow unwanted rotational movement. While lower inserts address compliance in the lower puck, the upper puck remains unconstrained, introducing a bending moment to the dogbone arm. Repeated exposure to these forces leads to deformation and even catastrophic failure, regardless of the arm’s material.
Through rigorous testing of various materials and designs (6061 aluminum, 7075 aluminum, stainless steel), 034Motorsport identified a solution: this Billet Upper Dogbone Mount Insert fills the front void in the upper puck, synchronizing motion limitation with the lower insert. This dual-insert configuration eliminates harmful rotation, allowing the dogbone arm to operate strictly within its intended stress vectors—preserving the arm, drivetrain components, and engine bay integrity.
Whether you're drag racing, launching hard, or simply driving spiritedly with a modified drivetrain, this upper insert provides the critical support and protection your performance build demands.
Key Features:
-
Billet Aluminum Construction – Precision-machined from high-strength aluminum for maximum durability.
-
Prevents Dogbone Arm Bending – Eliminates the bending moment caused by upper puck movement during aggressive drivetrain shocks.
-
Designed for Aftermarket Dogbone Mounts – Required when using a billet spherical dogbone arm with a lower puck insert.
-
Tested Under Extreme Conditions – Proven through wheel-hop and burnout simulations to prevent arm failure.
-
Improves Long-Term Drivetrain Reliability – Adds critical reinforcement during aggressive launches and hard acceleration.
-
