Audi C6 A6 Driveshaft Center Support Bearing Carrier Upgrade
Holds the driveshaft where it should be. Isolation dampers minimize vibrations.
Bushing Options:
- Street (Soft/Quieter)
- Track (Hard/Louder)
- Both Street (Soft/Quieter) & Track (Hard/Louder)
The Problem:
The stock center support bearing carrier holds the driveshaft in place with rubber so thin about 20 lbs of force moves it from center to the end of its travel. While that’s great for making sure no NVH makes it to the cabin, the stock bushing is extremely prone to failure, especially in harsher climates and on higher-powered cars. Even on the best-kept cars, the stock rubber bushing dry rots and cracks by the time it’s 10-15 years old. When the bushing lets go, it leads to excessive vibrations and clunking which can damage the transmission and rear diff. To make matters worse, the stock carrier is molded onto the center support bearing, leading to costly driveshaft replacement.
The Solution:
This upgraded unit keeps the driveshaft firmly in place at all times, and its polyurethane construction ensures it will never wear out. The thick bushings ensure the driveshaft cannot move from center, maintaining driveshaft alignment at all times.
The Bushings:
Two options are available for the bushings, both of which are many times over better than the stock bushings. We’ve paid close attention to the NVH levels associated with this upgrade. After extensive design iterations, we’ve come up with custom isolator bushings that separate the carrier from the body of the vehicle and mounting hardware. These carriers substantially reduce NVH levels.
The street bushings absorb most of the NVH from the drivetrain. Some light NVH is possible at some speeds in the form of a soft hum. With a modified exhaust or windows down you’ll probably never hear it.
The track bushings are for those who want no-compromise drivetrain performance. These may create a substantial amount of cabin noise. Not sure which is for you? Try them both, they’re interchangeable!
The Installation:
Installation doesn’t require removal of the driveshaft. The 2-part design clamps around the OEM bearing. The old carrier must be removed, so a cutting tool is required.

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...
