Product Details
Whiteline Front Engine Mount is made for the 2015 Volkswagen Passat Design, Highline (B7). Part number KDT968. The kit contains 1 insert bushing, 2 washers, an install guide, and grease. Application note: Inserts: check voiding of OEM bushings first, installs into voiding of original bushings. Placement: front. Trims named on the listing: Design and Highline.
Mounts are wear items: heat and oil break down the rubber over time. Replacing a tired one steadies the engine, removes the vibration it lets through, and keeps the engine in its intended position. 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. To go with it on the Passat, see Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, Ball Joint Boot Kit, and Front and Rear Essential Vehicle Kit.
Features
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
- Easy to fit: Designed for an easy install with ordinary shop equipment.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
- Corrosion protection: Metal parts are plated to resist rust over the long term.
- Install guide: Whiteline packs an install guide with it.
- Grease: Molybdenum disulfide grease is included to help the parts last.
