The APR MS100181 Pendulum Mount replaces the factory mount with a new, thick, billet-aluminum two-piece design, featuring a PTFE-lined spherical bearing and ARP bolts. The system stiffens the driveline to improve shift quality and power transition, while addressing the common and costly factory failure point at the transmission mounting location. It is easy to install, addresses all concerns with the factory setup and includes all necessary hardware to bolt on and enjoy!

Spherical bearings offer far less unwanted movement over rubber and polyurethane inserts. As such, the APR mount uses a spherical bearing, made possible by upgrading the rear mounting hardware. The bearing is fully-serviceable, features a heat-treated race and precision-ground ball, with a self-sealing and self-lubricating PTFE lining. By removing the factory rubber bushing, the APR system reduces slop in the driveline to improve shifts, and transmission of power to the ground. Expect a sportier feel during acceleration, deceleration and gear changes without an excessive increase in NVH when paired with the factory sub-frame mount.

The factory rear mounting point design is prone to failure under heavy use, which typically results in costly repairs or full transmission case replacement. The redesigned APR system is far less likely to tear out or break the rear bolts.

APR MS100181 Mount Manufacturing:
The front and rear pieces replace the factory cast aluminum and stamped steel pieces with precisely machined, billet-aluminum pieces that are both lightweight and strong. Each piece is anodized black to provide corrosion resistance and the APR logo is laser etched on each side. The APR mount uses a fully-serviceable spherical bearing and features a heat-treated race and precision-ground ball, with a self-sealing and self-lubricating PTFE lining. The APR system includes non-one-time-use ARP bolts for their strength, quality and longevity over the factory bolts.

APR MS100181 Pendulum Install:
Installation of the APR pendulum Mount typically takes around 30 minutes and is completely reversible. The system is easy to install, doesnt require dropping the sub-frame and is compatible with the factory and factory-like modified sub-frame mounts. Full install directions are included with each system. The factory bolts are one-time-use, and must be replaced when installing a new mount, new ARP bolts are included. APR MS100181 Install Manual
