Product Details
The Whiteline Front Engine Mount fits the 2008 Volkswagen Passat Lux, Turbo, VR6. It goes on the front of the vehicle. Application note: Inserts: check voiding of OEM bushings first, installs into voiding of original bushings. Order it as part number KDT968. The listing names the Lux, Turbo, and VR6 trims. In the box: 1 insert bushing, 2 washers, an install guide, and grease. Chassis code: B6.
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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 2 hours. A wheel alignment is not required. To go with it on the Passat, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link.
Features
- Grease: Supplied with molybdenum disulfide grease for extended service life.
- Insert design: The inserts work with the original factory bushing instead of replacing it.
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Bushing material: The bushing material is polyurethane, a firmer choice than rubber.
- Easy to fit: Designed so the install needs no specialized skills or tools.
- Corrosion protection: Rust protection comes from plating on the metal parts.
