GARAGE ACTIVE (SS-ACTIVE) RIGID DIFFERENTIAL COLLARS

Description

TIGHTEN THE CONNECTION BETWEEN ENGINE AND WHEELS BY ELIMINATING SUBFRAME MOVEMENT. These Rigid Collars are simple yet highly effective upgrade components designed for various Nissan vehicles. They replace the soft rubber cushions in the differential and subframe mounting points with precision aluminum or steel collars. As a result, this drastically reduces unwanted movement for sharper acceleration response, improved shift feel, and more direct handling.

Product Highlights

ELIMINATES DIFFERENTIAL AND SUBFRAME MOVEMENT: Factory subframes and differentials are mounted with soft rubber bushings to isolate noise and vibration. Under hard acceleration, braking, or cornering, these bushings allow the entire assembly to twist and shift slightly. Rigid collars fill the voids within these bushings, minimizing this movement and creating a more solid mechanical connection between the chassis and drivetrain.

IMPROVES ACCELERATION RESPONSE AND SHIFT FEEL: By preventing the differential from rotating under torque (via the Diff Rigid Collars), power is transferred to the wheels more immediately. This reduces the perceived “slop” or delay during hard launches and can make gear shifts feel more positive and direct, as the entire drivetrain becomes more stable.

ENHANCES HANDLING PRECISION AND FEEDBACK: By solidifying the subframe’s connection to the chassis (via the Rigid Member Collars), the suspension’s geometry becomes more consistent under load. This improves steering feel, reduces understeer, and provides the driver with more accurate feedback about what the rear axle is doing, leading to more predictable handling.

SIMPLE INSTALLATION FOR TANGIBLE RESULTS: Unlike full bushing replacement, rigid collars are typically installed by loosening the mounting bolts, inserting the collars into the existing bushings, and re-torquing. This makes them one of the most cost-effective and accessible modifications for experiencing a noticeable improvement in drivetrain and chassis response.
