Now Available: Motorsport Stainless Steel Tow Hooks

The 034Motorsport Motorsport Stainless Steel Tow Hook for Audi MQB/B8/B8.5/B9 and Volkswagen MQB vehicles is engineered to not only be the best looking tow-hook on the market, but the strongest, easily able to drag cars out of the deepest gravel traps should the unthinkable happen. This tow-hook threads into the stock tow hook location in just a few seconds and offers superior strength and better appearance than the OEM tow hook.

The beefy tow ring is CNC-machined from billet 303 stainless steel and is laser engraved. The shaft and connector are CNC-machined from 4140 chromoly steel and zinc plated for an attractive and durable finish. The connector is designed to limit the movement of the tow ring so that it cannot articulate past 90 degrees from horizontal in the downward position, ensuring that it will never come in contact with the bumper cover. An o-ring between the tow ring and the connector gives just enough resistance to prevent the tow ring from swinging around during spirited driving while allowing the ring to articulate through 180 degrees of motion when needed for towing.

We benchmarked the most popular tow-hooks currently available to create the strongest and best looking tow hook available. Don’t risk using inferior designs that are only designed for looks, a tow-hook that breaks during use is incredibly dangerous. We designed the 034Motorsport Motorsport Stainless Steel Tow Hook to be the most gorgeous and strongest option on the market!

Features:

Ultra-high-strength CNC-Machined Stainless Steel Tow Ring with Laser Engraving
Stainless Steel Tow Ring Without Paint, Plating, or Finish to Scrape, Peel, or Chip Off Remains Beautiful After Hard Use
CNC-Machined 4140 Chromoly Steel Shaft and Connector with Clear Zinc Plating for Corrosion Resistance
Positive Stop Prevents Tow Ring from Hitting Bumper in the Downward Position
O-Ring Resistance Prevents Tow Ring from Swinging Around During Spirited Driving
Tow Ring Articulates Through 180 Degrees of Rotation
Lock Nut Allows Tow Ring to be Precisely Oriented
Ships Pre-Assembled and Ready to Install

Available Now: Billet Aluminum Strut Tower Brace for B8/B8.5 Audi A4/S4 and Allroad

034Motorsport is proud to offer our Billet Aluminum Front Strut Brace for the B8 Audi A4/S4 & Allroad! These Audi models do not come with a true strut brace from the factory, allowing for lateral deflection of the strut towers and chassis flex under hard cornering. While the B8 chassis comes from the factory with a support bar located behind the fire wall, this component is not significantly structural to the chassis and allows strut tower deflection. This deflection can be observed as imprecise steering input and a vague, disconnected feeling from the front end due to undesired suspension geometry changes.

The 034Motorsport Strut Brace incorporates an extremely rigid billet aluminum center section that attaches to both strut towers and to the firewall in two locations, improving the vehicle’s steering feel and handling performance. This robust chassis reinforcement is machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, and engineered to be a comprehensive upgrade by limiting lateral strut tower deflection and maintaining proper suspension geometry under heavy cornering. The end result is a significantly more rigid front end that provides precise, consistent feedback through the steering wheel and ensures that you enjoy a more connected driving experience.

This strut brace was thoroughly tested by 034Motorsport on in-house B8 and B8.5 Audi S4 Development Vehicles before release.
