APR Audi/Volkswagen MQB (7-Speed DQ381) Billet Stainless Steel/Aluminum Pendulum Mount

The APR Pendulum mount replaces the factory mount with a new, thick, billet-aluminum and billet-stainless-steel two-piece design, featuring a PTFE-lined spherical bearing and new bolts. The system stiffens the driveline to improve shift quality and power transition. It is easy to install, addresses all concerns with the factory setup and includes all necessary hardware to bolt on and enjoy! Fits Audi A3 17-23, A3 Quattro 18-23, Q3 19, S3 18-23, TT Quattro 20-23, TTS Quattro 20-23; Volkswagen Arteon 22-23, Golf R 18-23, GTI 18-23, Jetta 19-24

• The front and rear pieces replace the factory cast aluminum and stamped steel pieces with precisely machined, billet-aluminum and billet-stainless-steel pieces that are strong.
• The aluminum piece is anodized black and the stainless piece is electropolished to provide corrosion resistance and the APR logo is laser etched on each side.
• Expect a sportier feel during acceleration, deceleration and gear changes without an excessive increase in NVH when paired with the factory sub-frame mount.
• The system is easy to install, doesn't require dropping the sub-frame and is compatible with the factory and factory-like modified sub-frame mounts.
• By removing the factory rubber bushing, the APR system reduces slop in the driveline to improve shifts, and transmission of power to the ground.
• The bearing is fully-serviceable, features a heat-treated race and precision-ground ball, with a self-sealing and self-lubricating PTFE lining.
• The APR system includes non-one-time-use bolts for their strength, quality and longevity over the factory bolts.
• As such, the APR mount uses a spherical bearing, made possible by upgrading the rear mounting hardware.
• Spherical bearings offer far less unwanted movement over rubber and polyurethane inserts.
• The factory bolts are one-time-use, and must be replaced when installing a new mount.
• Billet-aluminum and billet-stainless-steel construction
• Full install directions are included with each system.
• Reduces transmission movement
• Spherical bearing
• Replacement bolts
• Easy to install

Upgrade your Audi or Volkswagen MQB driveline with the APR aprMS100180 Billet Pendulum Mount. Designed for vehicles equipped with the 7-speed DQ381 transmission, this replacement mount uses a strong two-piece billet-aluminum and billet-stainless-steel construction to reduce transmission movement and driveline slop. The result is improved shift quality, more precise power transfer, and a sportier response during acceleration, deceleration, and gear changes.
The front and rear components replace the factory cast-aluminum and stamped-steel pieces with precisely machined parts. The aluminum section is anodized black, while the stainless-steel section is electropolished for corrosion resistance, with laser-etched APR branding on each side. A fully serviceable PTFE-lined spherical bearing features a heat-treated race, precision-ground ball, and self-sealing, self-lubricating liner. Compared with rubber or polyurethane inserts, the spherical bearing allows significantly less unwanted movement while maintaining a refined driving experience when used with the factory subframe mount.
Installation is straightforward and does not require dropping the subframe. The APR system is compatible with factory and factory-like modified subframe mounts and includes the required replacement hardware. Unlike the factory one-time-use bolts, the included APR bolts are designed for strength, quality, and long-term serviceability. Complete installation instructions are included. Application coverage includes Audi A3, A3 Quattro, S3, Q3, TT Quattro, and TTS Quattro models, along with Volkswagen Arteon, Golf R, GTI, and Jetta models listed for the DQ381 platform.
