034Motorsport Front Strut Brace, B8/B8.5 Audi Q5/SQ5, Billet Aluminum
The 034Motorsport Billet Aluminum Front Strut Brace for B8/B8.5 Audi Q5 & SQ5 is designed to limit lateral deflection of the strut towers and improve handling performance without sacrificing ride quality or introducing any additional noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH) into the cabin.
By reinforcing the front strut towers, this strut brace helps to maintain proper suspension geometry under heavy cornering and provides consistent steering response, ensuring a more connected and precise driving experience.
NVH is the measurement of how much noise, vibration, & harshness gets transmitted into the cabin of your vehicle. Based on user feedback, 034Motorsport Strut Braces transfer None to Low amounts of NVH to the cabin. NVH is subjective, so some users may find NVH to be increased or decreased from our rating. If you are experiencing higher than quoted NVH with this product, please evaluate the installation to ensure to components are correctly installed and email techsupport@034motorsport.com for further assistance.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The factory Audi Q5/SQ5 strut brace is made of thin-walled tube/stamped aluminum, allowing for lateral deflection of the strut towers and chassis flex under hard cornering. This deflection can be observed as imprecise steering input and a vague, disconnected feeling from the front end.
The 034Motorsport Billet Aluminum Front Strut Brace replaces the flimsy individual factory braces to improve the B8/B8.5 Q5 & SQ5's steering feel and handling performance. This robust chassis reinforcement is machined from T6-6061 billet aluminum, and engineered to be a comprehensive upgrade by limiting lateral strut tower deflection and maintaining proper suspension geometry under heavy cornering. The incorporated center brace ties together both left and right strut towers to provide precise, consistent feedback from the front end and ensures that you enjoy a more connected and precise driving experience.
This strut brace was thoroughly tested by 034Motorsport on an in-house B8 Audi Q5 3.0T Development Vehicle before release. Installation is very simple, can be performed in minutes, and is completely reversible.
