However, this combination of modifications has revealed a scenario that applies forces to the dogbone mount arm that it was not designed for. These forces have been seen to break OEM dogbone mounts. While billet aluminum aftermarket dogbone mounts have proven to be significantly stronger than OEM and resist this bending force, adding the upper insert removes this bending force while evenly distributing forces on both the upper and lower dogbone mount pucks, reducing excessive wear on the lower puck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lower dogbone mount insert limits compliance of the lower dogbone mount puck by filling large voids in the puck. During normal and spirited driving, this reduction in compliance results in more direct transitional response of the drivetrain to accelerative and decelerative forces. The driver feels more direct throttle response through the drivetrain without introducing a significant amount of NVH.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, violent drivetrain shocks, such as burn-out induced wheel-hop, introduce additional forces that can cause damage to the dogbone mount arm. In these violent events, the lower puck motion is limited by the dogbone insert, but the upper puck in unconstrained and is free to move forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis means that the entire puck assembly rotates forward at an angle towards the front of the car. Because the dogbone mount arm is clamped into the puck assembly, the rotation of the puck assembly generates a bending moment applied to the dogbone mount arm that it was not designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-2\"\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.034motorsport.com\/images\/034-509-1040-Body.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/store.034motorsport.com\/images\/034-509-1040-Body.jpg\" alt=\"\" pagespeed_url_hash=\"1163508437\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.034motorsport.com\/images\/034-509-1035%20Cut-Away.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/store.034motorsport.com\/images\/034-509-1035%20Cut-Away.jpg\" alt=\"\" pagespeed_url_hash=\"3631009412\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur engineering team developed the 034Motorsport Billet Upper Dogbone Mount Insert to solve the issue. This insert slips into the front void of the upper dogbone mount puck, limiting the forward motion of the upper puck to match the limited forward-motion of the lower puck with the lower insert installed. The result is an upper and lower insert package that eliminates the rotation inside the puck assembly during extreme drivetrain shocks, and keeps the forces acting on the dogbone arm in the direction the arm was designed for. Subsequent testing showed no signs of bending or stress in the dogbone mount arm with both the upper and lower dogbone mount inserts installed. Watch the demonstration video below to see how the dogbone mount pucks move with just the lower insert, and the upper and lower insert combined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"videoWrapper\"\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1182\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ju43yDjTq3o\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
