These mounts will also eliminate the annoying \"squeaking\" sound often caused by the stock strut mounts when paired with coilover suspensions. Street Density Strut Mounts will only cause a minimal increase in noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) inside the cabin. These mounts are a completely re-engineered performance solution, not just inserts for use with the factory mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich mount should I choose?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur 60-durometer Street-Density Strut Mounts are a great option if you’re looking for an OEM+-oriented upgrade. They offer better performance than factory mounts without compromising comfort. These mounts produce slightly more NVH than factory mounts. 70 Durometer Street Density Strut Mounts are our performance-oriented mounts. They offer the best performance while introducing some NVH into the cabin. This stiffer rubber durometer further reduces deflection in the front suspension, resulting in more precise handling and steering under heavy load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured from 60 or 70 Durometer Rubber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRubber Fully Vulcanized to Center Cups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates \"Squeaking\" Sound Caused by Factory Strut Mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced Strut Mount Deflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintain Proper Suspension Geometry Under Load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved Steering Feel \u0026amp; Handling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete Drop-In Replacement of Factory Strut Mounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Guide:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.034motorsport.com\/docs\/mk7-vw-gti-golf-r-mqb-audi-a3-s3-tt-tts-density-line-strut-mount-installation-guide-034-601-1007-sd.pdf\" title=\"DIY Installation Guide for Mk7 GTI \u0026amp; Golf R Strut Mounts\"\u003eClick Here!\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReplaces:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5Q0 412 331D  \u003cspan\u003e5Q0412331D\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Year Limited Replacement Warranty \u003cem\u003e(If you encounter any issues with our products outside of the warranty period, we will work with you to provide a resolution.)\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Mk7 Volkswagen Golf\/GTI\/R Strut Mount vs. Density Line Top Mount Upgrade\" src=\"https:\/\/www.034motorsport.com\/images\/mk7-vw-gti-golf-r-strut-mount-upgrade-vs-stock-density-line-8v-8s-audi-a3-s3-tt-tts-top-mounts.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh-Durometer Rubber vs. Polyurethane:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDensity Line Mounts are manufactured from high-durometer rubber instead of polyurethane for a number of reasons. While vulcanized rubber mounts are more expensive to prototype due to increased complexity of manufacturing and high initial tooling costs, rubber is inherently better than polyurethane as a damping medium for mounts and bushings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRubber is able to deal with stress under both tension and compression, while polyurethane mounts rely on the damping medium to be effective only under compression. Rubber is also excellent in shear, where polyurethane is ineffective, making it ideal for suspension bushings that apply a shear force to the bushing during articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRubber does not pack and wear like polyurethane does, which ultimately results in a long-lasting part with consistent performance and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Insight:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the redesigned Volkswagen\/Audi strut mount for the MkVII and 8V\/8S chassis was a great improvement over the previous generations of strut mounts, they leave much to be desired when paired with performance dampers or coilover suspensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany owners experience a \"squeaking\" sound coming from the front strut mounts after installing performance dampers or coilover suspensions. The noise becomes noticeable when pulling out of driveways, going over speed bumps, or traveling at low speed over uneven surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \"squeaking\" is caused by the low durometer rubber used in the factory strut mounts, which causes the steel center cup to move inside of the rubber mount. Our Track Density Strut Mount Pair was designed to eliminate this annoying issue, and improve the performance of the vehicle's suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e One vehicle requires 2 mounts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"034 Motorsport","offers":[{"title":"Density Line Strut Mount - 60 Durometer","offer_id":45714333237410,"sku":"034-601-1033","price":217.44,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Density Line Strut Mount - 70 Durometer","offer_id":45714333270178,"sku":"034-601-1034","price":217.44,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/9953\/7314\/products\/034-601-1007_2.jpg?v=1633748259","url":"https:\/\/broxtuning.ca\/products\/front-upper-strut-mount-034-density-line-pair","provider":"Brox Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
