Spherical RTAB Kit for 8S Audi TT/TTS



The 034Motorsport Rear Trailing Arm Spherical Bearing Upgrade Kit is designed to replace the factory rubber bushings, resulting in improved handling, and more predictable and precise cornering.

Factory rubber rear trailing arm bushings deflect under load, causing the rear end to feel vague and loose, as well as leading to improper suspension geometry and increased understeer. This becomes especially apparent when cornering on uneven surfaces, where the back of the car can feel floaty or unpredictable. The same exact rubber bushing was used by Audi/Volkswagen on a variety of applications, from the Volkswagen Golf to the Audi RS3, leaving much to be desired by enthusiasts and competitive drivers alike.

This kit replaces the rubber bushings with motorsport-quality Aurora Spherical Bearings, which allow for proper articulation without any deflection, ensuring precise handling, and confidence-inspiring road feel. Unlike polyurethane bushings, spherical bearings allow for full suspension articulation without binding, while completely eliminating slop from bushing flex.

• Fully Assembled with New Factory Steel Trailing Arms - Simple Bolt-In Installation!

Subframe Locking Collar Kit for 8S Audi TT/TTS



034Motorsport is pleased to present the Stainless Steel Subframe Locking Collar Upgrade Kit for the 8V Audi A3/S3 & 8S Audi TT/TTS! Designed to center the subframe using precision-engineered stainless steel insert bushings and large-diameter bolts, this kit eliminates clunks caused by the subframe shifting, and increases chassis rigidity for improved handling performance.

This kit addresses subframe clunk/pop/creak which presents itself when taking slow turns, entering driveways, coming to a stop, and starting from a standstill. These locking collars and new factory bolts are a permanent, affordable solution to address the fundamental issue with the factory subframe design.

The upper and lower collars in our kit are specifically machineded to locate the subframe and bolts perfectly and ensure hassle-free installation. The supplied bolts feature factory-correct tips and thread engagement points to prevent thread stripping. Unlike other kits on the market that use softer alloys, our 8V Audi A3/S3 & 8S Audi TT/TTS Subframe Locking Collars are made from stainless steel to prevent deformation and ensure a lifetime of performance.

Installation is very straightforward and can be performed in approximately one hour. No permanent modification to the subframe is required, and this upgrade is completely reversible.

• CNC-Machined Stainless Steel Locking Collars
• Application-Specific Design for Both Upper & Lower Locking Collars

How does the rear arm effect NVH?

Nice guys. Keep it coming.

We're planning on it!

How does the rear arm effect NVH?

It's not very noticeable in our cars. We have these on both of our S3s, and the only noticeable increase in sound transmission was brake squeal at low speed with cold track pads.

I also have these on my Mk7 GTI, which is a bit more prone to NVH issues due to the solid rear subframe mounting and interior volume. On my car, I get a slight bit more tire noise (255/30/19s) at freeway speeds, but nothing that I find bothersome. No squeaks, rattles, or anything annoying to speak of.

How much improvement on the track? Better corner exits?
