About this part

Product Details

If you're pushing your 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX hard, especially with a more powerful engine or track-focused setup, the stock rear axle and hub assembly might be a weak point. This Pro-Level Rear Axle/Hub Kit from Driveshaft Shop is designed to handle significantly more power and stress than the factory components, giving you the confidence to put down serious torque without worrying about breakage.

This kit replaces the entire rear axle and hub assembly with components built for extreme duty. The axles themselves are made from a strong, proprietary material that's heat-treated for maximum durability. They feature larger spline counts and are designed to accommodate higher horsepower and torque loads, which is crucial if you've upgraded your engine or plan to. The hubs are also beefed up to match the strength of the axles, ensuring a solid connection and reliable performance under aggressive driving conditions. This isn't just a minor upgrade; it's a complete overhaul of the rear drivetrain connection, built to withstand the demands of performance driving.

When installing this kit, you'll be replacing the entire rear axle shafts and the wheel hubs. It's a comprehensive solution that addresses potential failure points in the drivetrain. This kit is a popular choice for WRX owners who are building a car for drag racing, drifting, or serious road course use where the factory parts just won't hold up. Make sure to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding torque specifications and any other required procedures.
