Product Details
For the 2004-2012 Audi S3 Base, Whiteline makes the Front Engine Mount. Position: front. It is listed for the 8P chassis. Trim named on the listing: Base. Part number KDT968. In the box: 1 insert bushing, 2 washers, an install guide, and grease. Whiteline's note for this fit: Inserts: check voiding of OEM bushings first, installs into voiding of original bushings.
Engine mounts hold the engine in the chassis while absorbing vibration. When the rubber softens, the engine rocks under hard acceleration and when you lift off, and you may feel shudders, clunks, or a vague throttle. A new mount restores a solid hold. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 2 hours of work listed. It does not require a wheel alignment. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link for the Audi S3.

- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Corrosion protection: Plated finish keeps rust off the hardware.
- Grease: Supplied with molybdenum disulfide grease for extended service life.
