Overview

The Perrin Steering Dampener Lockdown Kit is a precision-engineered upgrade designed to tighten steering response and eliminate unwanted play in Subaru models equipped with a factory power steering dampener. By replacing the soft OEM rubber bushings with rigid aluminum inserts, this kit effectively locks down excessive steering rack movement, delivering a more direct and connected feel behind the wheel. It’s ideal for Subaru enthusiasts seeking sharper steering feedback during spirited driving, track days, or aggressive cornering.

Crafted from CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum, the Perrin Lockdown Kit reflects a design philosophy centered on durability, precision, and performance. The black anodized finish not only provides corrosion resistance but also complements the OEM aesthetic with a stealthy, high-quality look. This solution addresses a common weak point in Subaru steering systems by removing the compliance inherent in factory bushings without requiring permanent modifications.

For Subaru owners, this upgrade translates into tangible improvements in steering accuracy and vehicle control. The reduced side-to-side rack movement enhances driver confidence and responsiveness, especially in WRX, STI, Forester, Crosstrek, Legacy, and Outback models where precise steering feel is critical. The kit’s straightforward installation and platform-specific fitment make it a practical enhancement for enthusiasts focused on handling refinement.
