They're Here! 034Motorsport Audi Q5/SQ5 Rear Differential Mount Inserts & X-Brace!

**034Motorsport** · 06-08-2015 08:54 AM

Introductory Special: ENDED

We're pleased to announce an exclusive Introductory Special on a line of all-new B8/B8.5 Audi Q5/SQ5 Drivetrain & Chassis Upgrades by 034Motorsport! These performance parts are in-stock and ready to ship.

034Motorsport Drivetrain Mount Insert Package, B8 Audi A4/S4/RS4, A5/S5/RS5, Q5/SQ5 Billet Aluminum

Retail: $255.00 + Shipping

Introductory Special: $225.00 + Shipping

(Individual inserts are available separately below.)

Introductory special pricing is available through June 20th. Thank you for all of the interest, and we hope you enjoy this new line of performance upgrades for your Audi!

034Motorsport is proud to offer our Billet Aluminum Drivetrain Mount Insert Package for the B8 Audi A4/S4/RS4, A5/S5/RS5, and Q5/SQ5! The factory Audi transmission and rear differential mounts have large voids in the rubber damping medium, which results in excessive drivetrain movement under load. This movement results in slop than can be observed when accelerating, decelerating, shifting, and launching.

These billet aluminum inserts are designed to fill the large voids in the factory transmission and rear differential mounts, and limit drivetrain movement without sacrificing ride quality or introducing any additional noise, vibration, or harshness into the cabin. By filling the voids in the factory mounts, this package eliminates the associated slop to ensure that you experience crisper shifts, harder launches, and a smoother driving experience.

This mount insert package was thoroughly tested by 034Motorsport, JH Motorsports, and independent Audi enthusiasts before release. Installation is very simple, can be performed in minutes, and is completely reversible.

Features:

T6-6061 Billet Aluminum Construction
CNC-Machined In-House
Clear Anodized Finish for Durability
Engineered to Fill Voids In Factory Transmission/Differential Mounts
Drastically Reduces Transmission & Differential Movement During Shifting & Deceleration
Improves Shifting Feel, Resulting in Crisper Shifts
Allows for Harder Launches & Better Response from Rear Differential
Will Not Cause Additional NVH Transfer Inside Cabin
Easy, Straightforward Installation Takes Minutes!

034Motorsport X-Brace Billet Aluminum Chassis Reinforcement, B8 Audi A4/S4/RS4, A5/S5/RS5, Q5/SQ5

Retail: $495.00 + Shipping

Introductory Special: $445.00 + Shipping

034Motorsport is proud to offer our Billet Aluminum X-Brace Chassis Reinforcement Upgrade for the B8 & B8.5 Audi A4/S4/RS4, A5/S5/RS5, and Q5/SQ5! The factory Audi front subframe brace is manufactured from multiple pieces of stamped steel, and allows for performance-hindering chassis flex under load. This torsional flex can result in improper suspension geometry and alignment when cornering, and leads to vague steering feel and lack of steering precision.

The 034Motorsport X-Brace is a billet aluminum chassis reinforcement to replace the factory front subframe brace to increase torsional rigidity, resulting in improved steering feel and handling performance. Machined in-house from T6-6061 billet aluminum, the 034Motorsport X-Brace is engineered to outperform the stock welded, stamped steel part and ensure that suspension geometry is not compromised by chassis flex under hard cornering.

This chassis brace upgrade was thoroughly tested by 034Motorsport and independent Audi enthusiasts before release. Installation is very simple, can be performed in minutes, and is completely reversible.

Features:

T6-6061 Billet Aluminum Construction
CNC-Machined In-House
Clear Anodized Finish for Durability
Engineered to Replace Factory Front Subframe Brace
Drastically Reduces Chassis Flex When Cornering
Enhances Handling Dynamics and Performance
Improves Steering Feel, Consistency, and Precision
Will Not Cause Additional NVH Transfer Inside Cabin
Modular Design Fits Both B8 (Pre-Facelift) & B8.5 (Facelift) Models
Easy, Straightforward Installation!

What's Included:

034Motorsport Billet Aluminum X-Brace Chassis Reinforcement (Fits B8/B8.5 Audi A4/S4/RS4, A5/S5/RS5, Q5/SQ5)

So many orders!

(Thank you!)

We still have a few of the Rear Differential Carrier Mount Inserts and Rear Differential (Front) Mount Upgrades left. We also still have a handful of the first run of X-Brace Chassis Reinforcement Upgrades ready to ship. We've already started machining more of them in case we run out, and stock should be replenished before the Introductory Special pricing ends.

I know that was a lot of information to put in one post, so I'll be going through and posting details about the individual components as the Introductory Special continues.

034Motorsport B8 Audi Q5/SQ5 Quattro Rear Differential Carrier Mount Insert Kit, Billet Aluminum

034Motorsport is pleased to present another first for the B8 Audi Q5/SQ5, with our Billet Aluminum Rear Differential Carrier Mount Insert Upgrade Kit! The factory Audi rear differential carrier bushings have voids in the rubber damping medium, which results in excessive rear differential movement (twisting) under load. This movement allows for unwanted drivetrain slop (and sometimes clunks) that can be observed when accelerating, decelerating, and shifting.

These billet aluminum inserts are designed to fill the voids in the factory B8 Audi A4/S4/RS4, A5/S5/RS5, Q5/SQ5 & C7 Audi A6/S6/RS6, A7/S7/RS7 rear differential carrier mounts, and limit rear differential movement without sacrificing ride quality or introducing any additional noise, vibration, or harshness into the cabin. By filling the voids in the factory mounts, these inserts eliminate the associated slop and ensures that you're experiencing smoother shifting and throttle transitions, and an improved driving experience.

Installation is very simple, can be performed in minutes, and is completely reversible.

CNC-Machined Billet Aluminum Construction with Clear Anodized Finish
Application-Specific Design for Optimal Fitment and Performance
Engineered to Fill Voids In Factory Rear Differential Mounts
Drastically Reduces Rear Differential Movement During Shifting, Acceleration, and Deceleration

This part of the package serves the same function as the Apikol Insert:

You just need one or the other.

SOLD OUT! - We have sold out of the first run of the 034-505-2016 Rear Diff Carrier Inserts!

The good news is that a new production run is already underway, and will be at anodizing shortly. This may delay some orders a few extra business days, but we will continue to offer the Introductory Special pricing through the 20th. Thank you for all of the orders, and your patience as our Manufacturing Department catches up!

The factory Audi rear differential mount has voids in the rubber damping medium, which results in excessive rear differential movement under load. This movement allows for unwanted drivetrain slop (and sometimes clunks) that can be observed when accelerating, decelerating, and shifting.

These billet aluminum inserts are designed to fill the voids in both sides of the front-most factory B8 Audi A4/S4/RS4, A5/S5/RS5, Q5/SQ5 & C7 Audi A6/S6/RS6, A7/S7/RS7 rear differential mount, and limit rear differential movement without sacrificing ride quality or introducing any additional noise, vibration, or harshness into the cabin. By filling the voids in the factory mounts, these inserts eliminate the associated slop and ensures that you're experiencing smoother shifting and throttle transitions, and an improved driving experience.

Installation is very simple, can be performed in minutes, and is completely reversible. These billet aluminum inserts are precision-machined to fill voids on both sides of the factory rear differential mount, and will not pack and wear out over time.

I think some SQ5 reviews will be coming in soon.

Some reviews already came in from the A4 section: http://www.audizine.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10816575

Happy Monday! Today we're sharing one last refresher on the X-Brace itself.

Any reviews from Q5/SQ5 owners yet? I know some of you got the parts in time for a weekend of DIYing.

**DanMontgomery** · 06-16-2015 12:18 PM

Sorry, got mine over the weekend but the "HONEY DO LIST" trumped the install.

any chance of free shipping over the hill? I'll bet this would look pretty nice bolted up next to the trans mount insert...

Why should we buy your chassis reinforcement x-brace thing instead of a competitors? Does anyone have this reviewed yet?

No worries! That to do list is usually more important.

Glad to hear the parts arrived safely.

Good question! Both parts address the same issue, but the X-Brace is thicker, and features a modular design that fits both B8 & B8.5 subframes. The X-Brace also has contours that more closely match the profile of the stock subframe, and machined mounting bosses for the undercarriage covers. You can't go wrong either way, but I prefer the design and look of the X-Brace.

I believe the first few X-Brace orders are just arriving to customers' doorsteps today, so reviews should be rolling in soon.

**034Motorsport** · 06-18-2015 11:19 AM

**034Motorsport** · 06-23-2015 12:22 PM

Update: We are machining more of the Rear Differential Carrier Inserts to catch up on backorders. We did our best to gauge demand for these new upgrades when making the initial runs, but ended up a bit short to support the initial rush. I apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused, and the insufficient initial quantities were largely my mistake. We have extended the operating hours of our Machining Center in order to expedite the fulfillment of your orders without impacting the production of our other stocking parts.

We expect to have all backordered parts to ship on or before 7/9/2015. Orders will be shipped in the order that they were received, as parts become available. This means that orders will continue to trickle out over the next two weeks, as we progress towards being fully caught up. From that point on, it should be smooth sailing. We already have a partial run coming back from anodizing, which will be kitted up ASAP and sent out later this week.

Thank you again for all of your orders, and your patience as we work to catch up on pending orders.

RHD gauges are available!

They just aren't available pre-installed into the vent. If you select the "RHD Self-Install" option, we'll make sure to send you the correct gauge for your RHD car.

Installed it this morning. Too bad it's covered, great looking piece of aluminium!

Note: I was using jack stands, you just don't see them.

**masemoto** · 06-27-2015 04:20 PM

Instructions say 90nm + x degrees For x brace bolts but I couldn't for the life of me get the new stretch bolts to move anymore once 90nm was reached. Went up to 95nm and still nothing. Did they set to early? It's that okay or a problem? Should I check them after x miles or okay to wait a few months (only do 500 miles a month) to have a pro shop check when I get sway bars installed? Thx

Congrats on the install!

The last 1/4 turn can be a bit rough, and you should be fine even with them torqued to 90 Nm. I'd recommend checking the bolts in a few hundred miles just in case, but plenty of people have removed/reused the stock bolts without reaching the TTY +1/4 turn without issues.

Hope that helps!
