Torque arm bush

[SteveP]

i suppose its more of a track day part

Yes leave them parts to the stripped out racers imo,
Not for everyday driving, it would wind me up 

I disagree TBH, the VWR mount does need a good couple of thousand miles to settle, but is a big improvement over the power flex etc bushes IMHO 

I used one on both my Mk5 ED30 DSG and Mk6 GTI DSG daily drivers

couldn't be arced to wait a couple of thousand miles for it to bed in TBH. i can see what your saying but for now the bushing kit will do me.

should be here on monday hopefully

fitted my torque arm insert today

pretty straight forward apart from when i first pressed it in with a packer and trolly jack (with the bolt out as per the instructions) it made the OEM mount crooked and unable to line the bolt hole up. so i had to remove it (not easy!), put bolt back in then make a wooden circle with a hole cut in the centre to clear the bolt so i could press it in with the jack evenly and keep the bolt in a the same time

so anyone fitting one i would say leave the bolt IN while you press the insert into position.




took it for a drive and instantly notice the engine and gearbox are more direct.

there is more vibration at low rpm/idle/pulling away but there is no lurching when changing gears and there is less hesitation between the throttle and the drive train.

a good cheap upgrade
