Maximize Suspension Performance and Steering Precision with the 034Motorsport Track Density Strut Mount Pair
034Motorsport's Track Density Line Strut Mounts are the ultimate upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved suspension performance without sacrificing everyday drivability. Unlike factory mounts that rely on soft, low-durometer rubber, these performance-focused replacements are manufactured using high-durometer 75A rubber—approximately 50% stiffer than stock—providing a dramatic reduction in deflection under load.
More than just a firmer mount, these are completely re-engineered units with upgraded steel bodies capable of handling the increased stresses of spirited driving, track use, or coilover setups. Designed to solve common issues like front-end squeaking when using performance dampers, these mounts are an ideal choice for Audi and Volkswagen owners seeking precision, durability, and enhanced suspension geometry.
Key Features:
-
Manufactured from 75 durometer high-performance rubber (50% stiffer than OEM)

-
Drop-in replacement – fully replaces factory strut mounts
-
Sold as a matched pair for front suspension
-
OEM Part Numbers Replaced: 8J0412331, 1K0412331B, 1K0412
Why Rubber Over Polyurethane?
034Motorsport engineers use high-durometer vulcanized rubber instead of polyurethane for critical reasons. Rubber handles both tension and compression, excels in shear conditions, and maintains consistent performance without packing or degrading over time like polyurethane. The result is a longer-lasting part that provides better damping and real-world performance.
Technical Insight:
The OEM Volkswagen/Audi strut mount designs introduced in the MkV/MkVI and 8J/8P platforms improved over previous generations but still suffer when paired with coilovers or stiffer dampers. The most common complaint is the "squeaking" sound at low speeds or over uneven surfaces, caused by excessive movement of the steel center cup inside the soft factory rubber. 034Motorsport’s Track Density Mounts eliminate this issue entirely while enhancing handling and road feedback.
