Perrin Driveshaft Lockdown Kit 2008-2025 WRX / 2008-2021 STI | Reduced Driveshaft Movement | Drivetrain Stability Upgrade
Overview
The Perrin Driveshaft Lockdown Kit is designed to address a common issue found in Subaru WRX and WRX STI models from 2008 to 2025 and 2008 to 2021 respectively. The OEM driveshaft carrier relies on soft rubber bushings that degrade over time, allowing unwanted driveshaft movement during hard acceleration. This movement can lead to instability, wheel hop, and reduced traction. The Perrin Driveshaft Lockdown Kit replaces these soft bushings with a rigid aluminum solution that firmly secures the driveshaft, maintaining proper alignment and improving drivetrain response.
Engineered with precision from 6061 aluminum and finished with a durable black anodized coating, this kit exemplifies Perrin Performance’s commitment to quality and functional upgrades. The design focuses on providing a solid connection between the driveshaft and chassis without introducing excessive noise, vibration, or harshness (NVH). Installation is straightforward, as the lockdowns fit directly over the existing OEM driveshaft carrier, requiring no cutting or special tools, making it accessible for enthusiasts who prefer a DIY approach.
For Subaru owners seeking enhanced stability and traction during aggressive driving or spirited acceleration, this driveshaft lockdown kit offers a tangible improvement. By minimizing driveshaft movement, it reduces wheel hop and improves power delivery feel, translating to a more confident and controlled driving experience. This upgrade is particularly beneficial for those running higher power levels or upgraded suspension setups where drivetrain stability is critical.
