when my car breaks traction it axle tramps really bad.. mostly on rough surfaces.. will those torque arm or engine mount inserts help this? or should i be looking at a particular suspension setup?

Just a suggestion ... take the lead out of your right boot a little. Helps wonderously.Originally posted by chrisgti View Post

moderation of the right foot helps a lot yes. But in the MK5 the axle tramp is particularly violent! torque arm inserts are supposed to help dramatically. Ill be installing mine early next month so will see how it goes

All of the above, but they go up in price in the order you have listed them.Originally posted by chrisgti View PostComment

Is the axle tramp caused by ESP modulating power?
I get it with ESP on, but not a great deal with ESP off (which is quite rare).
Either way, it's a 'kin awful sound.Comment

If you have a lazy 3 or 4 grand lying about, you could investigate a LSD...

Its more when you break traction and regain it. That it probably why it happens more with ESP on.Originally posted by tinto View Post

Definately fit a torque arm insert. Its a great thing for sopping that tramping feeling. You wont regret it.

The APR hard nylon insert for about $100 for the lower bush is both quite simple and makes a noticable difference. If you still launch really hard it will still hop, but you can launch at 4/5 without hop whereas before it was lower. When it does hop, it's less violent too. From here, the cost of improvement increases a LOT. I agree with the other posters, learning some launch control is the biggest help!Last edited by Greg Roles; 21-07-2008, 09:04 AM.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |Comment

Get suspension. That will eliminate it completely unless ur flogging it in the rain.
Also tyres play a big part.Comment
