Unitronic® is proud to launch its Dogbone Mount Upgrade for the 2017-2020 8V RS3, 2022+ 8Y RS3 and 2018-2022 TTRS. This Dogbone Mount Upgrade, also referred to as the Pendulum Mount, was engineered to maximize performance by eliminating the slop present in the factory-style mount and improving drivetrain stability to ensure the system is better suited to withstand the forces present during hard launches or demanding driving scenarios on the drag strip or race track, virtually eliminating wheel hop, and offering more crisp shifts, all while maintaining a reduced NVH (noise/vibration/harshness) for comfortable operation.

Throughout the research and development phase of this Unitronic Dogbone Mount, perceivable NVH throughout the cabin was a very important factor of consideration. As a result, Unitronic engineers designed a modular system that can accept one of two inserts with varying stiffness.

Our yellow “street” poly bushings are ideal for street use, spirited driving, and the occasional track day.

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 an easier, more straightforward installation that allows the installer to install the mount on the vehicle without disassembling the subframe.

Finally, and most importantly, Unitronic opted to use polyurethane for its bushings due to its excellent damping and rebound properties. Polyurethane is known to withstand cyclic loading under varying operating conditions, which contribute to its durability.
