fitment:
Audi 8V A3/S3/RS3, 8S TT/TTS/TTRS, VW Mk7 Golf R/Alltrack/SportWagen Driveshaft Center Support Bearing Carrier Upgrade (8V001A0)

Holds the driveshaft where it should be. Isolation dampers minimize vibrations.

The stock center support bearing carrier holds the driveshaft in place with rubber so thin about 20 lbs of force moves it from center to the end of its travel. During launches and shifts, the driveshaft is allowed to travel off-center, decreasing throttle response and causing oscillations through the drivetrain. As they age, the carrier rubber sags and dry rots, ruining the driveshaft alignment.

This upgraded unit keeps the driveshaft firmly in place at all times, and its solid construction ensures it will never wear out. The thick bushings ensure the driveshaft cannot move from center, maintaining driveshaft alignment at all times. Isolation dampers separate the carrier frame from the body, minimizing NVH transmission.
