Product Details
The Whiteline Front Engine Mount fits the 2005-2008 Volkswagen Jetta GLI (1K). Whiteline part number: KDT968. The listing names the GLI trim. Whiteline's note for this fit: Inserts: check voiding of OEM bushings first, installs into voiding of original bushings. Position: front. In the box: 1 insert bushing, 2 washers, an install guide, and grease.
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. No alignment is needed afterward. Working on the same car? We also list Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit for the Jetta.
Features
- Insert design: Designed to fit with the factory bushing in place.
- Corrosion protection: Plated finish keeps rust off the hardware.
- Easy to fit: Made with the installer in mind, so it goes in without special equipment.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease comes with it for a longer service life.
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
