Product Details
For the 2004-2014 Audi A3, Whiteline makes the Rear Engine Dogbone Mount Kit. The part number is KDT977. Whiteline's note for this fit: Performance alloy arm: heavy duty, induces NVH. It goes on the rear of the vehicle. The chassis code on the listing is 8P. Included: 2 brackets, 2 bushings, 2 tubes, 2 bolts, and 3 washers.
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. Polyurethane resists deflection far better than the soft rubber it replaces.
Whiteline rates the install as moderate and lists about 1 hour. A wheel alignment is not required. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Audi A3: Adjustable Rear Sway Bar Link, Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, and Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link.
Features
- Install guide: Instructions for fitting are packed in the box.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Self-lubricating: Built-in grease reservoirs provide continual lubrication and reduce friction.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
