Aggressive driving that causes violent drivetrain movement, such as burn-outs that induce wheel-hop, will cause the upper and lower dogbone mounts to exert a bending moment on the dogbone mount arm, causing it to bend, and in some cases fail. When this failure occurs, the bottom of the engine is unconstrained and the engine will cause damage to other components in the engine bay. The 034Motorsport MQB Upper Dogbone Mount Insert eliminates these bending forces, allowing the dogbone mount to perform as designed during these violent events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn aftermarket billet spherical dogbone mount combined with a dogbone mount insert dramatically improves the feel and responsiveness of the drivetrain during spirited driving. However, this combination of modifications, coupled with the design constraints of the MQB dogbone mount pucks, have revealed a scenario that applies forces to the dogbone mount arm that it was not designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower dogbone mount insert limits compliance of the lower dogbone mount puck by filling large voids in the puck. During normal and spirited driving, this reduction in compliance results in more direct transitional response of the drivetrain to accelerative and decelerative forces. The driver feels more direct throttle response through the drivetrain without introducing a significant amount of NVH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, violent drivetrain shocks, such as burn-out induced wheel-hop, introduce additional forces that can cause damage to the billet spherical dogbone mount arm. In these violent events, the lower puck motion is limited by the dogbone insert, but the upper puck in unconstrained and is free to move forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStreet Density Dogbone Mount Puck Pair\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.034motorsport.com\/images\/034-509-1041%20Dogbone%20Puck%20Banner.jpg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e034Motorsport's Street Density Dogbone Mount pair for MkVII Volkswagen and 8V\/8S Audi models is manufactured from high-durometer rubber for increased performance and durability.

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.
