OVERTAKE Driveshaft Lockdown Kit – 2015-2022+ Subaru WRX / 15-21 STI / 13-22+ BRZ / 13-16 Scion FR-S / 13-22+ Toyota 86 & GR86

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, that movement can let the driveshaft shift out of alignment, wasting energy and creating the “slop” you feel during aggressive throttle transitions. The OVERTAKE Driveshaft Lockdown Kit solves this by securing the driveshaft carrier to the chassis—keeping everything locked in place where it belongs for a more predictable, connected drivetrain feel.

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 on/off transitions

Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction: Lightweight, rigid design finished in durable black anodize.
• Installs Over OEM Carrier: Fits over the factory driveshaft carrier with no cutting required.
• Quick Install: Approximately 45-minute install with basic tools.
• No Permanent Modifications: No drilling, cutting, or special tools required.
• Minimal NVH Increase: Adds control without making the car feel harsh or uncomfortable for daily use.

The Details

Every time you get hard on the throttle, the driveshaft is fighting against factory rubber designed for comfort, not performance. That rubber allows the carrier bearing to shift and flex, which can throw off alignment and contribute to wheel hop and drivetrain slop.

The OVERTAKE Driveshaft Lockdown Kit fits directly over your existing OEM carrier and locks it firmly to the chassis, reducing deflection and improving consistency in how power is delivered. The result is a more planted, more predictable car that puts power down cleaner—whether you’re launching at the strip or just merging onto the highway.

NVH Note: Expect a minimal increase in noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). Most drivers find the trade-off well worth the improved feel and response.

Installation Notes

• Designed to fit over the OEM driveshaft carrier assembly.
• Use proper jack stands or a lift and follow safe under-vehicle procedures.
• Check fastener torque after a short break-in period.
