Description
Upgrade your VW or Audi’s suspension performance with the 034Motorsport Track Density Strut Mount Pair, engineered to deliver superior durability, sharper handling, and precise steering response under spirited driving. Developed as part of 034Motorsport’s Density Line, these strut mounts are constructed from high-durometer rubber and designed to eliminate the common deflection and squeaking issues found in factory mounts—especially when paired with coilovers or performance dampers.
Manufactured from 75 durometer rubber—approximately 50% stiffer than OEM mounts—these strut mounts provide a significant reduction in mount deflection, ensuring optimal suspension geometry under load. The result is improved steering feedback, enhanced chassis stability, and reduced wheel hop with minimal increase in noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH).
Unlike simple insert kits, the 034Motorsport Track Density Strut Mounts are a complete, drop-in replacement solution that fully replaces the OEM mounts with a re-engineered design made for performance applications.
Additionally, these mounts eliminate the annoying “squeaking” sound often associated with factory rubber strut mounts when used with coilover suspensions—making them ideal for enthusiasts demanding both comfort and performance.

Why High-Durometer Rubber Instead of Polyurethane?
Unlike polyurethane, which only dampens effectively under compression, high-durometer vulcanized rubber offers damping in both tension and compression, as well as superior performance under shear forces. This results in a mount that lasts longer, wears more evenly, and provides a consistent feel over time—making it the ideal material for suspension applications where articulation and durability are critical.
Technical Insight:
Volkswagen and Audi improved the strut mount design in the MkV/MkVI and 8J/8P platforms, but these factory mounts still struggle when paired with stiffer dampers or coilovers. Low-durometer rubber in OEM mounts allows the steel center to move within the rubber housing, resulting in creaks or squeaks during low-speed movement or when navigating uneven terrain. The 034Motorsport Track Density Mounts solve this by using stiffer rubber and a redesigned structure to prevent unwanted movement—improving ride quality and performance simultaneously.
