JXB Performance Driveshaft Center Support Bearing Carrier Upgrade – Audi B8/8.5 Q5/SQ5 & Porsche 95B Macan (1st Gen)

The JXB Performance Driveshaft Center Support Bearing Carrier Upgrade is the premier solution for Audi B8/8.5 Q5/SQ5 and Porsche 95B Macan (1st Gen) owners seeking to eliminate common driveline vibration and shudder issues. The factory rubber bushing sags, cracks, and fails over time, leading to costly transmission and differential damage. This upgrade replaces it with a robust polyurethane carrier that keeps the driveshaft perfectly aligned, virtually eliminating movement from center.

Choose from Street (soft) bushings for quiet daily driving, Track (hard) bushings for maximum precision, or Both for versatility. Custom isolator bushings and mounting hardware minimize NVH, while the innovative 2-part clamp design allows installation without driveshaft removal. Engineered for superior performance, durability, and longevity, this carrier is the ultimate upgrade for refined drivetrain stability.

Key Features

  • Polyurethane Construction – Virtually indestructible and outlasts stock rubber by decades
  • Precision Alignment – Thick bushings hold driveshaft firmly in place with zero movement
  • Customizable NVH Control – Street (Soft/Quieter) or Track (Hard/Louder) bushing options
  • Seamless Installation – 2-part clamp design; no driveshaft removal required
  • Superior NVH Reduction – Custom isolator bushings outperform competitors

Driveshaft Loops

Driveshaft Loops

Driveshaft loops are safety devices designed to contain a driveshaft if it fails or separates during hard acceleration, preventing the shaft from striking the ground, penetrating the floor, or causing serious injury to the driver on drag strip or street-strip applications. Builders who shop driveshaft loops include drag racers running eighth-mile and quarter-mile events where driveshaft loops are mandatory safety equipment per NHRA and IHRA rulebooks, street-strip muscle car owners who want an extra layer of protection on high-horsepower builds, and Jeep and off-road truck builders adding protection against driveshaft damage on rock crawling and trail applications. A failed driveshaft at high speed is one of the most dangerous mechanical failures in a performance vehicle, and a properly installed driveshaft loop intercepts and contains the spinning shaft before it can vault through the floor or become a projectile. NHRA rules typically require a driveshaft loop on any vehicle runnin...
