AIRTEC Motorsport Torque Link Insert for MQB EA888 - Pendulum Arm Bush Upgrade

Transform launch traction and tighten up drivetrain control with the AIRTEC Motorsport torque link insert for the MQB EA888 platform. This precision billet insert fills the large void in the OEM lower pendulum arm bush, stabilising the engine under load, cutting wheel hop on hard launches, and sharpening throttle response while retaining near OEM refinement for daily use.

Unlike softer polyurethane alternatives, this solid billet piece does not degrade or sag over time. It is a simple, direct-fit enhancement that pairs with the factory lower mount, delivering a noticeable improvement in grip and drivability without the usual increase in noise or vibration you might expect from harsher mounts.

• Significantly reduces engine rock for cleaner power delivery and stability
• Helps curb wheel tramp during aggressive acceleration and standing starts
• CNC machined billet construction for long-term reliability
• Retains everyday comfort with minimal change to cabin NVH
• Direct-fit to the stock MQB lower pendulum support

Compatible applications

Designed for VAG MQB EA888 2.0 TSI models including Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk7 and Mk7.5, Golf R Mk7, Audi S3 8V, SEAT Leon Cupra 5F, and Skoda Octavia vRS 5E.

What you will feel

• Improved traction on launch and stronger mid-gear acceleration
• More precise shifts and tighter drivetrain feel on both DSG and manual
• Greater confidence on fast road drives without sacrificing comfort

Why choose this upgrade

We run this insert on our own MQB builds and the feedback from our customers has been outstanding. The result is a cleaner hook-up off the line, less axle hop, and a more connected drive that still feels refined on the commute. Fit it once and enjoy consistent performance thanks to the durable billet design.
