However, these Stage 2 torque arm inserts are made of 90a durometer polyurethane, so do expect some reduction in comfort due to increase noise and vibrations. These Stage 2 inserts are best suited for the enthusiast looking for maximum performance and vehicles that are track-prepped. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003eUnder hard acceleration, the pendulum mount (commonly referred to as the \"dogbone\" or by VW as the \"torque arm\") acts to limit rotational movement of the engine. The factory bushings do a satisfactory job, while limiting vibrations, but only during sedate driving conditions. When pushed hard, those bushings flex creating a vague feeling in the engine and gearbox and adding to the dreaded wheel hop phenomenon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003eOur pendulum mount torque arm insert fills the voids in the stock rubber bushing, making what was a soft rubber bushing with voids into what behaves like a solid mount. With the insert installed, you will notice that throttle response will feel better and your shifts will feel more crisp and defined, especially on manual transmission cars.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e \u003cb style=\"padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003eINCLUDES:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"padding: 0px; list-style-position: outside; list-style-image: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;\"\u003eTorque arm \/ dogbone polyurethane insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;\"\u003eLaser cut washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;\"\u003eSteel spacer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;\"\u003eHigh strength grade 10.9 replacement bolt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr style=\"padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e \u003cb style=\"padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003eFITS:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"padding: 0px; list-style-position: outside; list-style-image: initial; margin-bottom: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: normal;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eAll \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"background-color: #ffff00;\"\u003eVersion 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003e MQB Platform Vehicles Including MK7 GOLF\/GTI \u0026amp; 8V Audi A3\/S3\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"auto\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"BFI MK7 Torque Arm Insert - Stage 1 - Version 2 - Post 9\/15 vehicles\" src=\"https:\/\/sep.yimg.com\/ty\/cdn\/yhst-1918367471896\/MQBTorqueArmComparison2.JPG?t=1530202408\u0026amp;\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/sep.yimg.com\/ty\/cdn\/yhst-1918367471896\/MQBTorqueArmComparison2.JPG?t=1530202408\u0026amp;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"background-color: #ffffff; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"auto\" width=\"100%\" alt=\"BFI MK7 Torque Arm Insert - Stage 1 - Version 2 - Post 9\/15 vehicles\" src=\"https:\/\/sep.yimg.com\/ty\/cdn\/yhst-1918367471896\/MQBTorqueArmReference2.JPG?t=1530202408\u0026amp;\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/sep.yimg.com\/ty\/cdn\/yhst-1918367471896\/MQBTorqueArmReference2.JPG?t=1530202408\u0026amp;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSPECIAL NOTE:\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"background-color: #ffffff; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px;\"\u003eStage 2 inserts are only recommended for heavily modified vehicles or for customers who value performance over comfort.
