Product Details
This page covers the Whiteline Front Engine Mount for the 2012-2015 Volkswagen Passat (NMS). This part is for the front of the vehicle. Whiteline's note for this fit: Inserts: check voiding of OEM bushings first, installs into voiding of original bushings. The part number is KDT968. Included: 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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Expect a moderate job of about 2 hours. A wheel alignment is not required. To go with it on the Passat, see Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link and Front and Rear Essential Vehicle Kit.
Features
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Corrosion protection: A protective plating covers the metal components to guard against corrosion.
- Insert design: Designed to fit with the factory bushing in place.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
- Grease: Supplied with molybdenum disulfide grease for extended service life.
