Audi VW Differential Mount - Genuine Audi VW 4M0599381R

Product Information

A differential mount is a component that secures the differential to the vehicle’s chassis or subframe. It absorbs and dampens the vibrations and torque generated by the differential, helping to maintain stability and alignment within the drivetrain. Differential mounts are typically made of rubber or polyurethane and play a crucial role in transferring power smoothly to the wheels.

• Clunking or Banging Noises: A common symptom of a failing differential mount is clunking or banging noises, especially when accelerating, decelerating, or shifting gears, as the differential shifts due to loose or damaged mounts
• Vibrations: Worn or damaged mounts can cause excessive vibrations in the drivetrain, leading to noticeable shaking or vibrating felt in the rear of the vehicle or even in the cabin.

About Genuine VW Audi

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
