Product Details
This Whiteline Rear Engine Dogbone Mount Kit fits the 2008 Volkswagen R32. In the box: 2 brackets, 2 bushings, 2 tubes, 2 bolts, and 3 washers. Application note: Performance alloy arm: heavy duty, induces NVH. The part number is KDT977. This part is for the rear of the vehicle.
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.
Expect a moderate job of about 1 hour. A wheel alignment is not required. To go with it on the Volkswagen R32, see Front Control Arm Lower Inner Rear Bushing, Adjustable Front Sway Bar Link, and Front and Rear Sway Bar Kit.
Features
- Install guide: Written install instructions are included with the part.
- Bushing compound: The elastomer formulation is chosen to shrug off oil, grease, ozone, and the elements.
- Self-lubricating: The bushing carries its own grease supply in internal reservoirs, so it keeps moving freely.
- Bushing material: Polyurethane bushings flex far less than rubber ones.
