Description
APR Billet Stainless-Steel / Aluminum Pendulum Mount - MQB (7 Speed DQ500 and 8 Speed AQ450) Fits 2017-2024 Audi RS3, TT RS, Volkswagen Arteon
OVERVIEW
Enhance your 2017-2024 Audi RS3, TT RS, or Volkswagen Arteon with the APR Billet Pendulum Mount, designed for MQB platforms with 7-speed DQ500 and 8-speed AQ450 transmissions. This upgrade replaces the factory mount with a robust two-piece design crafted from billet-aluminum and billet-stainless-steel, featuring a PTFE-lined spherical bearing and high-quality bolts. The system significantly reduces transmission movement, resulting in improved shift quality and power delivery.
Features:
- Reduced Transmission Movement: Eliminates the factory rubber bushing, minimizing slop in the driveline for enhanced shift precision and power transmission.
- Sportier Driving Experience: Expect a more connected feel during acceleration, deceleration, and gear changes without excessive noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) when paired with the factory sub-frame mount.
- Spherical Bearing: Offers superior movement control over traditional rubber and polyurethane inserts. The fully-serviceable bearing features a heat-treated race and precision-ground ball with a self-sealing and self-lubricating PTFE lining.
- Durable Construction: The front and rear pieces replace factory cast aluminum and stamped steel with precisely machined, corrosion-resistant billet-aluminum and billet-stainless-steel. The aluminum piece is anodized black, and the stainless piece is electropolished, both etched with the APR logo.
- High-Quality Bolts: Includes non-one-time-use bolts that surpass the strength, quality, and longevity of factory bolts, which must be replaced during installation.
- Easy Installation: Simple to install without requiring the sub-frame to be dropped. Compatible with both factory and modified sub-frame mounts. Full installation directions are included with each system.
Upgrade your driveline with the APR Billet Pendulum Mount and experience improved performance, durability, and driving satisfaction.
