Our Stage 2 Torque Arm Insert is aimed at maximizing performance while still maintaining most daily-driving comforts. However, these Stage 2 torque arm inserts are made of 90a durometer polyurethane, so do expect some reduction in comfort due to increase noise and vibrations. These Stage 2 inserts are best suited for the enthusiast looking for maximum performance and vehicles that are track-prepped. 

Under hard acceleration, the pendulum mount (commonly referred to as the "dogbone" or by VW as the "torque arm") acts to limit rotational movement of the engine. The factory bushings do a satisfactory job, while limiting vibrations, but only during sedate driving conditions. When pushed hard, those bushings flex creating a vague feeling in the engine and gearbox and adding to the dreaded wheel hop phenomenon.

Our pendulum mount torque arm insert fills the voids in the stock rubber bushing, making what was a soft rubber bushing with voids into what behaves like a solid mount. With the insert installed, you will notice that throttle response will feel better and your shifts will feel more crisp and defined, especially on manual transmission cars.

INCLUDES:
  • Torque arm / dogbone polyurethane insert
  • Laser cut washer
  • Steel spacer
  • High strength grade 10.9 replacement bolt

FITS:
  • All Version 1 MQB Platform Vehicles Including MK7 GOLF/GTI & 8V Audi A3/S3
  • SPECIAL NOTE:
  • Stage 2 inserts are only recommended for heavily modified vehicles or for customers who value performance over comfort. There will be noticeable in-cabin vibrations and harshness with the Stage 2 insert regardless of engine type or modifications. Not recommended for TDI vehicles under any circumstances!

                Misleading description
                Style: Magnetic Mount
                Misleading. It does affect the vent. You cannot turn the vent at all and it cannot be closed 100%. About 95% closed. Seems very well built and sturdy however, I wish I knew that you cannot turn the vent… Not sure how I feel about that, I may return it.

                Happy after aggravating install!
                Style: Magnetic Mount, Style: Magnetic Mount
                Works now that I finally got it to hold. Otherwise would have given it 5 stars. The air vent ‘lip’ on my 2018 Tacoma is so short so not much for this to clamp on to. This was hard to install. Instructions didn’t have anything about putting the parts together and extra cushion pieces. I watched the video and it was like mine once I got it to hold. I tried with one layer then added a layer then removed added layer and then finally got it to hold! Maybe 10 tries! Now that it’s holding it’s perfect! I left it unscrewed just a little tiny bit so can move the phone view around a little. Happy now! Build quality: It seems to be pretty strong and will last my truck’s lifetime.  Phone mount: Like that it is strong magnet holder and not bulky Ease of installation: Not easy. Kept not staying attached then finally just got it. I don’t know magic trick but was just about to give up then it caught the small lip and held tight. Ever other attempt kept popping off as I tightened it down.  Value for money: I think at $39.99 was a little high but hopefully last one I ever buy.

                Solid iPhone Holder
                Style: Magnetic Mount
                I’ve been searching for a phone holder that doesn’t take up one of the drink holders and actually works well. I had been eyeing a vent mounted holder but was hesitant until I found this one. It had good reviews and was designed to work with my Tacoma. I decided to try it and was pleasantly surprised. It was easy to assemble, fit perfectly, secured nicely, and held my phone in place even in bumpy conditions. The vent location puts it in a good alignment with my vision which is especially helpful when I’m using my navigation app. If you’ve been looking for a decent, reasonably priced, well-built iPhone holder, this is an excellent choice!

                Works in my Kia Carnival Hybrid so u can have my phone at eye level and does not block my screen. Easy to install. Not too sticky. Waiting to see how it holds up to the FL heat. To be continued.
