{"product_id":"engine-torque-damper-bushing-pq34","title":"Engine Torque Damper Bushing • PQ34","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnder hard acceleration, your entire engine and transmission actually rotate backward due to excessive compliance within the factory rubber bushings. While these soft factory components do an adequate job of damping engine vibration for daily commuting, they also create a rubbery, vague, and disconnected response in the vehicle's powertrain during spirited driving or rapid gear changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo solve this drivetrain slop, NEUSPEED offers a precision-molded set of two upgraded urethane bushings designed specifically for your vehicle's lower engine torque arm (often referred to as the dogbone mount), which connects the front subframe directly to the bottom of the transmission. With the NEUSPEED bushings installed, your vehicle's throttle response will immediately feel sharper, and your shifts will feel crisper and significantly more defined on both manual and automatic transmission platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowertrain Stabilization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drastically reduces engine and transmission deflection under heavy acceleration, ensuring optimal power transfer directly to the front wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Shifting Dynamics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upgraded structural rigidity prevents drivetrain movement, resulting in tighter, more precise gear changes without the \"rubbery\" factory feel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Performance Urethane:\u003c\/strong\u003e Molded from premium polyurethane to easily withstand harsh under-car environments, resisting the tearing and degradation commonly seen in factory rubber mounts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDirect-Fit Upgrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to install seamlessly into the factory lower engine torque arm housing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eNotes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurometer Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rated at a carefully selected 70A urethane durometer, providing the ideal balance of street-driven comfort and track-focused rigidity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNVH Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Because performance urethane is not as compliant as soft factory rubber, you may notice a slight increase in Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) or engine vibration inside the cabin following installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered specifically for 1998-later Volkswagen Beetle, Golf IV, Jetta IV, and Audi TT (Mk1 \/ 8N) platforms equipped with 1.9L TDI, 2.0L 8V, 1.8T, or 2.8L VR6 engines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NEUSPEED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46963684704454,"sku":"22.10.89","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0081\/0804\/8420\/files\/22.10.89.jpg?v=1787343144","url":"https:\/\/www.graveyardperformance.com\/products\/engine-torque-damper-bushing-pq34","provider":"Graveyard Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
