Our Stage 1 Torque Arm Insert is aimed at maximizing daily comfort while still offering optimized performance gains over stock. These are the only MQB inserts available that feature a specifically engineered dimension that limits unwanted vibration, offering the best compromise available. We recommend the Stage 1 insert to majority of our customers. 


Under hard acceleration, the pendulum mount (commonly referred to as the "dogbone" or by VW as the "torque arm") acts to limit rotational movement of the engine. The factory bushings do a satisfactory job, while limiting vibrations, but only during sedate driving conditions. When pushed hard, those bushings flex creating a vague feeling in the engine and gearbox and adding to the dreaded wheel hop phenomenon.

Our pendulum mount torque arm insert fills the voids in the stock rubber bushing, making what was a soft rubber bushing with voids into what behaves like a solid mount. With the insert installed, you will notice that throttle response will feel better and your shifts will feel more crisp and defined, especially on manual transmission cars.

INCLUDES:
  • Torque arm / dogbone polyurethane insert
  • Laser cut washer
  • Steel spacer
  • High strength grade 10.9 replacement bolt

FITS:
  • All Version 2 (Sep/2015-up) MQB Platform Vehicles Including MK7 GOLF/GTI & 8V Audi A3/S3


SPECIAL NOTE:
  • You may experience some in-cabin vibrations after installing our insert. These vibrations are most noticeable in reverse and while the a/c is engaged at idle. These are normal and will subdue after approximately 1,000 miles of driving. TDI models will experiencing increased NVH compared to gasoline vehicles due to the design of the diesel engine.

                I thought that the color was really pretty! And, underarmour stuff,while a bit overpriced, is usually pretty comfy.

                Comfortable, Great Fit, and Perfect for Cooler Days
                Color: Navy Heather, Size: Large
                I bought this in January 2026 and have been really happy with it. The fit was as expected, which is always a big plus when ordering clothes online, and it feels comfortable right out of the package. What I like most is that it’s nice to wear when the weather is a little cooler, but it doesn’t feel too heavy or too hot. It works well as a light layer and has been a good option for those in-between days when you want something with long sleeves but don’t want a thick sweatshirt. It also looks good when wearing it, which makes it easy to use for more than just workouts or casual lounging. The overall style is clean, and it has a nice look without trying too hard. Overall, this has been a great purchase. If you want a comfortable quarter-zip pullover that fits well, looks good, and works well in cooler weather without overheating, I’d definitely recommend it.
