Description
Replace MQB pendulum-mount compliance with a spherical joint
APR MS100140 replaces the factory pendulum mount on listed MQB vehicles using the 6-speed manual or DQ250 transmission. Its two-piece billet aluminum and stainless-steel structure uses a PTFE-lined spherical bearing to control drivetrain movement while retaining articulation.
Key Features
- Two-piece billet construction
- 6061 aluminum section with black anodized finish
- T304 stainless-steel section with electropolished finish
- PTFE-lined spherical bearing
- Laser-etched APR logos
- Includes replacement bolts for the one-time-use factory hardware
- Installs without dropping the subframe
- Compatible with factory and factory-like modified subframe mounts
- Exact APR application is identified by manufacturer part number MS100140

Installation Instructions
- Confirm the exact MQB vehicle, 6-speed or DQ250 transmission, and APR MS100140 part label before disassembly.
- Review APR's current instructions and the vehicle service procedure, then support the vehicle and drivetrain at the specified points.
- Remove the factory one-time-use pendulum-mount bolts and mount without shifting or loading the drivetrain unexpectedly.
- Install the two-piece APR mount and supplied replacement bolts in the orientation shown by APR.
- Tighten all fasteners using the current APR sequence and torque values, without substituting the discarded factory bolts.
- Verify exhaust, subframe, driveline, and body clearance, then inspect fastener security and drivetrain behavior after the initial road test.
