Engine Mount Bushing

Engine mounts are designed to keep your engine and transmission supported and fixed to your vehicles frame or sub-frame without causing excessive vibrations that can enter the cabin. Engine mounts keep your drive-train properly aligned and if failed can promote drive train vibrations and premature component wear. Over time, your engine mounts deteriorate resulting in extra engine noise, engine rocking, a less enjoyable driving experience, and thus must be replaced.

Engine Mount Bushing Failure Symptoms
  • Engine Vibration
  • Drivetrain Vibration
  • Uneven Engine surface
  • Engine Rock during gear changes
  • Engine Rock during braking

About Powerflex

Installation instructions are included in all Powerflex kits

Powerflex has extensive knowledge and design experience in automotive suspension and chassis systems. These design skills have been combined with advanced polyurethane manufacturing techniques leading to the development of a wide range of high-performance automotive polyurethane components that are second to none in quality and performance.

Street Purple - Powerflex Street bushings are purple in color and are meant for street sport applications. Order this compound for daily driven cars and when ultimate performance is not a priority. In some positions, the street compound bushing may also be yellow.

Racing Black - Powerflex Racing bushings are significantly stiffer than their street counterparts, and are designed for vehicles that are driven on race tracks for minimum bushing deflection. Occasionally racing black bushings are denoted for use on street applications in positions where excess load puts significant demand on a bushing and NVH is not effected by the stiffer material.

All component manufacturing is carried out by our in-house engineers utilizing the latest automatic processing equipment to ensure premium quality. Testing of new components is carried out both on test rigs and on the actual vehicle the parts are designed for. Stainless steel and aluminum components are also machined in-house on the latest computer-controlled equipment to ensure perfect repeatability and exceptional quality.

The special type of polyurethane used by Powerflex is an advanced proprietary material which has unique properties. This ensures that each product not only offers the high-performance capabilities our customers expect, but also the exceptionally long life and quality they demand - without increased vibration or noise.

Great upgrade for my MK5 GTI with worn pendulum bushing
My MK5 GTI pendulum bushing is cracking and I don't want to spend money on replacing it yet since you have to take the subframe out and press the mount out and new one in. Installed this insert along with a new dogbone mount bracket (CRP-AVR0445) which my original one also had bad bushings. Installing these two items, I instantly felt the difference. Before the install, shifting into gears felt like riding a horse, it was very choppy and bucking alot. Now it is extremely smooth. Also before, when I let go of the accelerator, the car would shake (I assume when the tranny/motor moves and the bad dogbone doesnt hold it in place as well causes this). This is no longer the case. Also the final thing was, before I installed these, my tires would spin and lose traction extremely easily, especially for a 2006, 121k mile car, traction control would kick in way too often. Now, it is definitely more planted and way less wheel spin. One bad thing is there is SOME vibration when going in reverse. But its not that bad since I'm never in reverse for that long. Going forward, there is no vibration at all and all feels good. Install for the insert was also extremely easy. I thought the bolt would be a nightmare to come out but a 21mm socket and a breaker bar and the car on ramps, I was able to get it out very easily. The insert came with some assembly lube. I put half of it in the dogbone bushing on the car, and the other half on the insert itself. The insert slid in very easily, I did not even need to use a rubber mallet like in some DIY videos. Placed the smaller washer in the hole of the insert, then put my bolt through the bigger washer and tightened it down to 74 ft lbs with a torque wrench and then turned it another 90 degrees. One thing is this insert doesnt include a new bolt. I re-used my old one and I think it should hold up.

PFF85-504P is Excellent and I highly recommend it!
Excellent product! After installing the insert--this is how my Audi A3 8P should have come from the factory. The car feels much more planted, with better acceleration and no noticeable cabin vibration. The only extra vibration I've have noticed is when the car is in reverse. However, it is not bothersome, nor are you going to be in reverse for an extended amount of time--unless you into that sort of thing. It took more time safely jacking/ securing the car than installing the insert. NOTE INSTALLATION TIPS: 1. Only jack-up the front of the car (on both sides) so that the engine will tilt back under its own weight, keeping the dogbone mount properly in place. Otherwise you may have to fight to push the engine/ trans backwards so that the dogbone mount will be far enough in the bushing seat to bolt the assembly together. 2. When installing, DO NOT unbolt anything. First, thing you should do is slide the insert in. It will make the installation a piece of cake. Then unbolt the subframe bushing bolt and add the washers as directed. 3. If you are going to re-use the bolt, then I would suggest using medium grade lock tight as a precaution.
