Product Details
This page covers the Whiteline Front Engine Mount for the 2008 Volkswagen Eos Turbo, VR6 (1F). 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. Placement: front. Part number KDT968. Trims named on the listing: Turbo and VR6.
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.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 2 hours. No alignment is needed afterward. To go with it on the Volkswagen Eos, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link.
Features
- Corrosion protection: Plated finish keeps rust off the hardware.
- Grease: Supplied with molybdenum disulfide grease for extended service life.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Easy to fit: Designed for an easy install with ordinary shop equipment.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
