“Wheel hop can be caused by a variety of things, from the wrong shocks to a better surface than the tire can handle or more power than the tire can handle, but the biggest thing that we really see is bushing deflection within the suspension system,”

I've also never had 'a bit' of axel tramp, it's always very clear that's what's happening. :D

When this came up I did a search and one site explains it quite well...

The fourth post I think, I know this is for older racing cars especially rear wheel drive so I'm not sure what differences there are for front wheel drive cars.

I've looked on the last MK7.5 brochure and one of the standard fitting listed for the GTi PP and upwards is an 'Anti-tramp feature', on RWD cars I guess this would be an actual bar to counteract the twisting, not sure how this a applied to FWD cars.

Way back at Good Friday 2013, I ordered my MK7 GTD. All performance models had a stated "anti tramp feature". Imagine my disappointment when I finally had my GTD in Sep 2013, shod with Bridgestones - it tramped like a bastard. They must've forgotten to fit or activate the anti-tramp feature on mine.  :grin:
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

Not had any tramping since I fitted the 034 Insert for the Dogbone five years ago.

Ditto, would love to try one but every other review or comment seems to involve people taking them out again, because the nvh has gone through the roof.

I’ve got the 034 top and bottom mounts on my Dsg. 
The nvh can be annoying at times pulling away at low revs and I hoped it would improve but never did.
But I don’t get any tramping now. It really made a difference with ps4’s.

I wish I could try the different dog leg mounts available to see which reduced nvh the best but would work out a bit expensive 😂

I've also got the 034 upper and lower mounts, except mine is a manual. There was an increase in NVH at first, but 12 months down the line I don't notice it any more and wouldn't be without them.  :laugh:

When do you notice the NVH increase guys? Is it just pulling off and reversing? Thanks.
