What is a pendulum mount and why would I replace it?

A pendulum mount, also known as a dog bone mount, connects the engine and transmission to the chassis. Replacing the stock mount with this unit can reduce drivetrain slop, leading to improved throttle response and a more solid feel during acceleration and gear changes.

What is the difference between the street insert and a race insert?

The street insert is made from a firmer polyurethane compound designed to reduce movement while maintaining a comfortable ride for daily driving. A race insert would typically be even stiffer, offering maximum drivetrain control but potentially introducing more vibration and noise into the cabin.

Does this mount come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This pendulum mount includes the mount body and the street insert. It is designed as a direct replacement for the factory part, so you will typically reuse your original hardware. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details.

Product Details

This pendulum mount, often called a dog bone mount, uses a solid aluminum construction with a street-biased polyurethane insert. This design choice helps to significantly reduce drivetrain movement, which translates to a more connected feel when you accelerate or shift gears. It's a popular upgrade for Volkswagen models like the Beetle, CC, and Jetta, aiming to tighten up the feel of the drivetrain.

The solid aluminum body of the mount is well-built and designed to handle increased stress compared to stock rubber mounts. The included polyurethane insert is firmer than factory rubber, effectively limiting the fore-and-aft motion of the engine and transmission. This reduction in slop can lead to improved throttle response and a more direct engagement during acceleration and deceleration, making your car feel more responsive.

This mount is a solid option for drivers looking to enhance the performance feel of their Volkswagen. It's a direct replacement for the factory pendulum mount and is designed to fit a range of Volkswagen vehicles from 2009 through 2014, including models like the Golf and Tiguan. While it offers a more performance-oriented feel, it's engineered for street use, providing a noticeable improvement without being overly harsh for daily driving.
