15-18 Audi Q3 (PQ35 6 Speed & DQ250) Mount Kit

Description

The APR Pendulum mount replaces the factory mount with a new, thick, billet-aluminum two-piece design, featuring a PTFE-lined spherical bearing and ARP® bolts. The system stiffens the driveline to improve shift quality and power transition, while addressing the common and costly factory failure point at the transmission mounting location. It is easy to install, addresses all concerns with the factory setup and includes all necessary hardware to bolt on and enjoy!

Features & benefits

• Because of the new design's mounting orientation, the system is far less likely to tear out or break the rear bolts, which typically results in costly repairs or full transmission case replacement.
• The front and rear pieces replace the factory cast aluminum and stamped steel pieces with precisely machined, billet-aluminum pieces that are both lightweight and strong.
• 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 factory rear mounting point was upgraded to the new MQB / MK7 platform style mount as the older design was prone to failure under heavy use.
• 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.
• Each piece is anodized black to provide corrosion resistance and the APR logo is laser etched on each side.
• 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.
• Full install directions are included with each system
• Reduces transmission movement
• Reduces transmission failure
• Billet aluminum construction
• Spherical bearing
• Replacement Bolts
• Easy to install
