OVERTAKE Driveshaft Lockdown Kit – Subaru 2008-2026 WRX, 2008-2021 STI, 2013-2026 BRZ / 86

Feel that clunk when you get on the throttle? That’s your driveshaft moving when it shouldn’t be.

The factory driveshaft carrier is held together with soft rubber bushings that flex, compress, and degrade over time. Under hard acceleration, this allows the driveshaft to move out of alignment, wasting energy and creating that unsettling “slop” in the drivetrain. The OVERTAKE Subaru Driveshaft Lockdown Kit eliminates that movement by securing the driveshaft carrier to the chassis, keeping everything locked in place where it belongs. Less slop, more confidence.

What You’ll Feel:

• More direct throttle response, especially from a dig
• Reduced wheel hop under hard launches
• Tighter, more connected drivetrain feel
• Less “clunk” during aggressive throttle transitions

Features:

• Made from 6061-T6 Aluminum and finished in black anodize
• 4-piece design offers a complete 360* lockdown
• Fits over OEM driveshaft carrier, no cutting required
• 45-minute install with basic tools
• No special tools or permanent modifications
• Minimal NVH increase

The Details: Every time you get hard on the throttle, your driveshaft is fighting against soft factory rubber that was designed for comfort, not performance. That rubber allows the carrier bearing to shift and flex, which throws off driveshaft alignment and robs you of clean power delivery. The OVERTAKE Driveshaft Lockdown Kit fits directly over your existing OEM carrier and locks it firmly to the chassis, eliminating the deflection that causes wheel hop and drivetrain slop. Our 4-piece design fits entirely around the bearing,unlike the 2-piece competition, allowing for a complete, 360* lockdown. The result is a more planted, more predictable car that puts power down cleaner, whether you’re launching at the drag strip or just merging onto the highway. Expect a minimal increase in NVH, but most drivers find the trade-off well worth the improved feel and response.
