Purpose and Function in the Vehicle

The presented front subframe bracket is dedicated to Volkswagen Tiguan 5N models with a 2.0 TDI engine and 4MOTION drive, where it is responsible for the rigid support of the engine unit and front axle suspension components. Its placement in the front of the vehicle allows for the transfer of loads from the engine, gearbox, and suspension to the body structure.

The element belongs to the category of longitudinal body frame parts and brackets, meaning it forms part of the car's load-bearing skeleton, influencing the vehicle's behavior during braking, acceleration, and cornering.

Benefits of Using an Original Bracket

Using the factory subframe bracket in the Tiguan 5N offers a range of practical technical benefits:

• Replication of Factory Geometry – maintaining the correct alignment of suspension and powertrain mounting points.
• Compatibility with 4MOTION Drive – construction designed to work with the four-wheel-drive system.
• Stable Engine Support – limiting undesirable powertrain movement under load.
• Improved Front Body Rigidity – support for suspension and steering system operation.

By preserving the original design, it is possible to maintain predictable vehicle behavior and the correct operation of safety systems that rely on factory body geometry.

Assembly and Operational Characteristics

The bracket is designed for installation in the front of the body, replacing the factory part. Appropriately selected mounting points facilitate hassle-free replacement in workshop conditions, without the need for vehicle modifications. The element works with factory mountings for the engine, suspension, and other subframe components.

As a used part, the bracket offers a cost-effective solution for accident repairs, front-end geometry correction, or restoring the full functionality of the load-bearing system in intensively used vehicles.

Application in the Volkswagen Load-Bearing System

In the construction of the Volkswagen Tiguan 5N, the front subframe bracket plays a key role in:

• transferring loads from the suspension to the body,
• maintaining the axial alignment of the powertrain relative to the body,
• stabilizing steering system operation at various speeds and loads,
• ensuring adequate torsional rigidity of the front of the vehicle.

A correctly selected and installed bracket helps reduce unwanted vibrations, improves driving comfort, and supports even wear of suspension components.
