Product Details
For the 2006-2014 Volkswagen Golf/GTI (PQ35), Whiteline makes the Rear Engine Dogbone Mount Kit. The part number is KDT977. In the box: 2 brackets, 2 bushings, 2 tubes, 2 bolts, and 3 washers. This part is for the rear of the vehicle. Whiteline's note for this fit: Performance alloy arm: heavy duty, induces NVH.
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.
Installation is rated moderate, with about 1 hour of work listed. It does not require a wheel alignment. Other Whiteline parts we list for the Golf/GTI: Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm Set, Adjustable Sway Bar Vehicle Link Kit, and Rear Upper Outer Control Arm Bushing Kit.
Features
- Install guide: An install guide comes in the box.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane is firmer than the factory rubber, so it deflects less under load.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Bushing compound: A synthetic elastomer compound resists oil, grease, ozone, and weathering.
