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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tgk-p\"\u003eOver 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. \u003cbr\u003eWhen 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.\u003cbr\u003eOur 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tgk-p\"\u003eBenefits as described by our customers include: \u003cbr\u003eMore direct throttle response \u003cbr\u003eFirmer, more direct shifts \u003cbr\u003eMore instantaneous launches \u003cbr\u003eReduction in vibration due to driveshaft misalignment and\/or rubber deterioration \u003cbr\u003eSmoother low-speed on\/off throttle behavior (1st gear in parking lots)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"JXB Performance","offers":[{"title":"Street (Soft\/Quieter)","offer_id":44210175475861,"sku":"JXB-8V001A0","price":324.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Track (Harder\/Louder)","offer_id":44210175508629,"sku":"JXB-8V001A0-2","price":324.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Give Me Both!","offer_id":44210175541397,"sku":"JXB-8V001A0-3","price":354.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0579\/6259\/4453\/files\/8V001A0-Assembled.jpg?v=1739106787"}],"url":"https:\/\/tgkmotorsport.com\/collections\/mk8-2-0t-parts.oembed","provider":"TGK Motorsport","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
