Product Details
Here is the Whiteline Front Engine Mount for the 2005 Volkswagen Passat. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Included: 1 insert bushing, 2 washers, an install guide, and grease. Whiteline part number: KDT968. Chassis code: B5.5. Whiteline's note for this fit: Inserts: check voiding of OEM bushings first, installs into voiding of original bushings.
An engine moves on its mounts every time the throttle opens or closes. The less it can move, the more directly the power goes to the wheels and the less strain the hoses, wiring, and driveline take. A fresh mount cuts that movement. The polyurethane used here deflects much less than the original rubber under the same load.
Expect a moderate job of about 2 hours. No alignment is needed afterward. Working on the same car? We also list Front Upper Control Arm Bushing Kit (Standard Repl.) for the Passat.
Features
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Corrosion protection: The hardware is plated to stand up to road conditions.
- Bushing material: Made of polyurethane, which resists deflection better than soft rubber.
- Bushing compound: Oil, grease, ozone, and weather do not break down the synthetic elastomer used in the bushings.
- Grease: Moly grease is supplied to prolong the life of the parts.
- Insert design: Designed to fit with the factory bushing in place.
