Subaru Impreza/WRX/STI 3rd/4th/5th/6th Gen Driveshaft Center Support Bearing Carrier Upgrade (SUB01A0)The stock center support bearing carrier holds the driveshaft in place with a layer of thin rubber. While thats great for making sure no NVH makes it to the cabin, it doesnt keep the bearing centered well under load, allows the bearing to sag and ruin driveshaft alignment over time, and creates slop in the driveline during shifts and throttle application. Over time the OEM bushing becomes brittle, eventually dry rotting and cracking. Even on the best

The stock center support bearing carrier holds the driveshaft in place with a layer of thin rubber. While that’s great for making sure no NVH makes it to the cabin, it doesn’t keep the bearing centered well under load, allows the bearing to sag and ruin driveshaft alignment over time, and creates slop in the driveline during shifts and throttle application.

Over time the OEM bushing becomes brittle, eventually dry rotting and cracking. Even on the best-kept cars, the stock bushing can start to form cracks in as little as 5-10 years.

When the bushing wears and sags, it changes the alignment of the driveshaft, putting more stress on the joints. During rapid loading of the driveshaft (launches, shifts, and quick application of the throttle), the bearing is allowed to travel off-center, introducing slack in the driveline, which results in laggy and unpredictable driveline response.

Our upgraded driveshaft carriers keep the driveshaft firmly in place at all times. The more solid bushings ensure the bearing cannot move from center, maintaining torque delivery and driveshaft alignment at all times, resulting in more direct driveline response under all conditions.

Benefits as described by our customers include:

  • More direct throttle response

  • Firmer, more direct shifts

  • More instantaneous launches

  • Reduction in vibration due to driveshaft misalignment and/or rubber deterioration

  • Smoother low-speed on/off throttle behavior (1st gear in parking lots)

    Perfect fit, solved steering pump noise
    Installed this o-ring kit on a 2009 Honda Odyssey. The steering pump was making noise and you could see bubbles in the fluid revivor when the engine was idling indicating a potential air leak from where the hoses attach to the pump. The most difficult part was finding the right 10mm wrench that would allow me to access the lower hose mounting bolt without removing the belt or pump pulley. I wound up taking an old wrench, heated it with a torch, and bent it in a vice to get the right fit. I did order a ratcheting, flex head wrench but while waiting for it to be delivered I was able to make something work. Overall, the o-ring kit worked great, the o-rings seem high quality and this fixed my issue. If you don't already have some, make sure to order the power steering fluid required for Asian/Honda vehicles when you order these o-rings.

    No issues
    Great aftermarket o ring. If for whatever reason OEM isn’t possible, these o rings will work perfectly fine. Had no issues installing into power steering system. Still would recommend Honda o rings if you can because they are also cheap.

    Fixed noisy and leaking power steering pump
    My daughters 2008 Honda Accord 2.4L 4 cylinder that had a very noisy power steering pump which was also starting to leak. I was about to buy a new pump when I found out it might just be leaking from the hoses to the pump. I bought these O rings for the hose connections at the power steering pump, and spent 15 minutes replacing them. Pump is quiet again! The suction hose can develop a leak, letting air get into the pump which creates the loud noises. This fix is all I needed, and was much cheaper and faster than replacing the power steering pump.
