Select Your Car to Verify Fitment
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.
Designed In-house, these mounts are made to be the stiffest on the market made from the highest quality (90a) durometer polyurethane. Each insert is pressure injection molded to insure a consistent hardness throughout the mount for long life even under hard driving conditions.
KIT INCLUDES:
- One torque arm / dogbone insert
- Installation hardware and washers
FITS:
- All 2009+ vehicles including Golf/GTI, Jetta/GLI, Tiguan and Passat, as well as, MK2 Audi TT and 8P A3.
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!

BFI Stage 2 Torque Arm Insert / Dogbone Insert (2009+)
Absolute pia to install, I had to sand it down to install then it wouldn't fit in the last bit, so I had to remove it and tore it in the process. It now resides in the garbage.
Reply:
We are very sorry to hear that this part was torn in the process of installing it. Are you able to reach out to us at Support@urotuning.com? Please provide us with the year make and model of your vehicle. There are a couple of options for this part depending on what year vehicle you have. Also, BFI recommends using a spray lubricant on these parts to install. Not sure if you tried that or not.

2011 MK6 GTI Manual. Doesn't wheel hop anymore. Slightly more vibrations on a cold start and while engaging clutch in gear. Easy to install. Hmu on IG@: rad.mk6 if you would like a more in depth review/questions answered.
