The MQB dogbone is the flexible mount assembly which connects the engine and gearbox to the chassis. It allows for a lot of movement without sustaining too much damage, and is typically used in smaller vehicles such as coupe or convertible models. If your vehicle doesn’t have an MQB dogbone, you likely need to replace it with a more suitable mounting solution.
Solutions for the MQB dogbone
There are several solutions available for attaching your engine and gearbox to the chassis without using the MQB dogbone. One option is to use an OEM mounting bracket, which will allow you to connect the equipment directly to the chassis. Another option is to use a mount from a aftermarket supplier, such as Fifth Axis mounts. These mounts typically offer superior load capacity and rigidity, making them a better choice if you require heavy duty performance.
