OVERTAKE Launches Next-Level Subaru Drivetrain Upgrades
At OVERTAKE, we’re obsessed with improving Subaru drivability, traction, and drivetrain precision. Today we’re thrilled to launch two drivetrain upgrades, built specifically for WRX, STI, BRZ, and GR86 enthusiasts who want sharper throttle response, reduced drivetrain slop, and more confidence under power.
These upgrades are engineered to outperform stock rubber-centric components, delivering real world improvements you can feel every time you launch, shift, or hustle through corners.
Why Upgrade Your Subaru’s OEM Driveshaft Components?
OEM Subaru drivetrain mounts and bushings are built for comfort and NVH reduction, not performance. Over time the stock rubber components:
-
Compress and sag, allowing driveshaft movement and wheel hop under hard acceleration, which wastes power and feels sloppy.
-
Degrade over miles and temperature cycles, causing drivetrain play and inconsistent power delivery.
-
Reduce throttle response and traction when power really counts, especially on modified cars.
That’s where OVERTAKE’s new drivetrain solutions come in, engineered with precision CNC materials and performance-oriented design to tighten your Subaru’s drivetrain feel and unlock a more confident drive.

Why It’s Better Than OEM
The stock driveshaft carrier uses soft rubber bushings that flex under load, letting the driveshaft move when you step on the throttle, which can result in wheel hop, delayed power delivery, or drivetrain “clunk.”
The OVERTAKE Driveshaft Lockdown Kit supports that oem driveshaft carrier with a rigid solution that locks the driveshaft carrier to the chassis, keeping the driveshaft perfectly aligned during acceleration. You’ll notice:
-
More direct throttle response
-
Reduced wheel hop at launches
-
Tighter, more predictable drivetrain feel
-
Minimal increase in NVH for performance benefit

Why It’s Better Than OEM
Just like the driveshaft, the OEM carrier bushings rely on soft rubber, which over time allows the driveshaft support bearing to get sloppy, introduce slack, and misalign the shaft, hurting acceleration response and consistency.
The OVERTAKE Driveshaft Carrier Bushing Kit uses upgraded materials and geometry to:
-
Keep the center support bearing firmly centered
-
Reduce drivetrain play under load
-
Maintain torque delivery through sharper throttle transitions
-
Extend drivetrain component longevity

Daily drivers seeking sharper, more confident responsiveness
-
Enthusiasts pushing their cars on track days
-
Modified cars where drivetrain compliance amplifies power loss
