BMR Driveshaft Safety Loop DSL010 for Mustang 2005–2010 – Black Hammertone

The BMR DSL010 Driveshaft Safety Loop is a heavy-duty safety restraint for the driveshaft of the 2005–2010 Ford Mustang. Installed around the front section of the driveshaft, it is designed to help contain the shaft in this area underneath the vehicle in the event of a failure.

The Safety Loop does not alter the operation of the driveshaft. Its purpose is to provide an additional mechanical safeguard in the event that the driveshaft or one of its connections fails under high load.

What does a Driveshaft Safety Loop do?

As vehicle speed increases, driveshaft rotational speed also increases significantly. In the unlikely event that the driveshaft becomes disconnected or fails while driving, an uncontrolled rotating shaft underneath the vehicle can cause substantial damage to the floor and surrounding components.

The BMR DSL010 surrounds the front section of the driveshaft. In the event of a failure, it is designed to help contain the shaft in this area underneath the vehicle and thereby reduce the risk of additional secondary damage.

Particularly important for the Mustang 4.0 V6

Special attention should be paid to the factory driveshaft of the 2005–2010 Mustang 4.0 V6 if the factory speed limiter is removed. The original V6 driveshaft is not designed for sustained operation at significantly higher vehicle speeds.

If the top-speed limiter of a 4.0 V6 is removed, we therefore strongly recommend considering not only the suitability of the driveshaft itself but also installing a Safety Loop as an additional safeguard.

Useful additional protection for the Mustang GT

The DSL010 also provides an additional mechanical safeguard for the 2005–2010 Mustang GT 4.6 V8. Particularly on modified vehicles or Mustangs that are regularly driven at high speeds, a Driveshaft Safety Loop can be a useful addition.

Heavy-duty bolt-on construction

The DSL010 is manufactured from 1/4-inch laser-cut and CNC-formed steel plate. Rather than attaching the loop directly to the transmission, BMR mounts it to the existing mounting points of the factory transmission crossmember.

This allows the Safety Loop to remain attached to the vehicle independently of the transmission itself. Installation is completely bolt-on and requires no welding or fabrication.

The required high-strength Grade 8 mounting hardware is included. BMR specifies an installation time of approximately one hour.
