it's no secret that Unitronic is a huge fan of the playful MQB/MQB EVO platforms. These wildly popular cars offer excellent balance and agile handling with plenty of headroom for tuning. Being primarily front-wheel drive biased, some shortcomings like wheel hop and drivetrain slop can take away from the overall experience once tuned. Still, the all-new Dogbone Mount Upgrades from Unitronic seeks to address all that and more!

For performance-oriented customers who like to push their cars harder on spirited drives or at the track, this upgrade is crucial to help put the power down to the ground and firm up the drivetrain for a more sporty experience that does not introduce excessive cabin NVH.

Special attention was paid to bushing hardness throughout the research and development phase of these specific Unitronic Dogbone Mounts for DQ381, MQ350, and DQ250-equipped vehicles.

As a result, a new green bushing was developed to help keep NVH down on 4-cylinder applications while providing a tremendously improved driving experience. They also needed to retain the modular system, which was very popular for the 8V.2 / 8S platforms, allowing customers to choose between different inserts to suit varying driving styles.

For 4-cylinder applications, our green poly bushings are ideal for street use, spirited driving, and the occasional track day. For race-oriented builds, high power, and track-only type vehicles, our yellow poly bushings work best and firm up the chassis even more.

Unitronic's Dogbone Arm and Endcaps are 5-axis CNC machined from T7075 billet Aluminum and feature a black anodized finish. Unique to Unitronic's design are CNC-machined Nylon inserts, which isolate them from the subframe to mitigate possible damage from extenuating heat radiated from the exhaust system. In addition, they facilitate a more accessible, straightforward installation that allows the installer to install the mount on the vehicle without disassembling the subframe.
