ARP flywheel bolts
The ARP flywheel bolts attach the flywheel to the crankshaft. Here, tremendous forces occur, which these bolts must absolutely withstand, under all conditions. That’s why ARP has specialised in producing some of the best bolts on the market. They are almost twice as strong as the best standard OEM bolts and therefore perfectly suited for tuned engines. In our online shop, besides ARP flywheel bolts for VW and Audi, you will also find ones for Porsche, Opel, BMW, and more.
Twice as strong as the OEM bolts: ARP flywheel bolts
ARP manufactures high-strength motorsport flywheel bolts that are twice as strong as OEM components: these bolts boast 200,000 psi of tensile strength. Everything is taken care of in house: From cutting to the coating and packaging, everything is done and monitored by ARP themselves. This ensures the high quality the manufacturer is known for. Each thread is perfectly rolled and precisely forged down to the nanometre. They are made of extremely strong materials such as chrome molybdenum steel in order to meet the most exacting of requirements. Like all ARP bolts, the ARP flywheel bolts have been specially developed and manufactured for motorsport. ARP bolts are thus used throughout the motorsport world: from NASCAR to Formula 1.
What must the flywheel bolt withstand?
The flywheel sits on the crankshaft and ensures smooth engine running, even at low speeds. It compensates for rotational irregularities of the engine by overcoming dead centres and idle strokes. The flywheel stores the extreme energy from the crankshaft and continues to rotate even when your engine is not delivering any power. Thanks to these characteristics, your engine runs smoothly and shows better throttle response. Tuned engines with high torque, in particular, may exhibit real vulnerabilities. Therefore, you should rely on extremely high-strength bolts. You definitely can’t go wrong with ARP bolts for the flywheel.
