torque arm insert - R60

Hello,
I know the upgraded torque arm insert is a good buy to help with the torque steer…but is it worth it for the All4 model that has virtual none already?

Thanks

It's a great purchase if you have a manual. Helps clutch feel significantly.

I've never heard anything about it helping with torque steer.

I Installed the insert on my 2012 All4S and do feel a difference when powering out of a curve.

Is it compatible with auto transmission?
Is it worth to buy?

I noticed nothing but vibrations on my All4S auto. I removed it. I've had upgraded mounts in all of my previous cars so the vibrations don't bother me, but I didn't feel any improvement with this mount on my auto so the vibrations weren't worth it to me.

Ive had mine installed for over a year and love them. If you are sensitive to your CM vibrations when stock then this will rattle your teeth. I have noticed better inertia transfer and 0 - 60 times on my CMS Auto has decreased by .2 seconds as per my DashCommand (baseline test was done in the morning, 40 min later I re tested).

So you're saying your car got slower with the mount?

i've had mine in for about a year (on an auto S) as well and also noticed nothing but vibrations, but i've been too lazy to take it out since i haven't had the car on a lift for anything.
