Description
Eliminate annoying subframe clunks and improve chassis precision with the 034Motorsport Stainless Steel Subframe Locking Collar Upgrade Kit, specifically engineered for VW Mk5/Mk6 and Audi A3/S3 8P models. This high-quality kit is designed to correct the well-known factory subframe issue that results in popping, creaking, or clunking noises during low-speed turns, starts, stops, or while entering uneven surfaces.
Unlike the temporary shim fixes offered by factory service bulletins (such as VW TSB V-401202), this upgrade uses CNC-machined stainless steel upper and lower collar inserts to permanently locate and center the subframe. The included large-diameter bolts feature factory-correct thread engagement and tips, ensuring a secure fit without the risk of thread damage.
This upgrade not only eliminates unwanted subframe movement but also improves chassis rigidity, resulting in more precise handling and a more connected driving experience. Made from stainless steel for maximum durability, these collars will not deform over time like inferior aluminum versions.
Installation is simple and reversible, requiring no cutting, welding, or permanent modification to the subframe. This is a must-have for any enthusiast experiencing subframe noise or looking to increase handling performance on the street or track.
