BMR Driveshaft Safety Loop DSL017 for Mustang 2011–2026 – Black Hammertone

The BMR DSL017 Driveshaft Safety Loop is a heavy-duty safety restraint for the Ford Mustang driveshaft. Installed around the front section of the driveshaft, it is designed to help contain the driveshaft in this area underneath the vehicle in the event of a failure.

The Safety Loop does not alter the operation of the driveshaft and is not a suspension or performance modification. Its purpose is to provide an additional level of protection in the event that a driveshaft or its connection fails under high load.

What does a Driveshaft Safety Loop do?

At high vehicle speeds, the driveshaft rotates at correspondingly high speed. In the unlikely event that it becomes disconnected or fails while driving, an uncontrolled driveshaft underneath the vehicle can potentially cause significant secondary damage.

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

Additional protection at high speeds

For a Mustang that is regularly driven at high speeds, a Driveshaft Safety Loop can provide a useful additional mechanical safeguard.

On 2015 and later Mustang models, the factory driveshafts are already designed for the higher vehicle speeds these models can achieve. The Safety Loop is therefore not a prerequisite for higher-speed driving on these vehicles, but it can be installed as an additional mechanical safety measure.

Particularly relevant for 2011–2014 Mustangs

On 2011–2014 Mustang models, this becomes particularly relevant when the factory speed limiter is removed. Especially on V6 models, it should be taken into account that the factory driveshaft was not designed for unrestricted increases in vehicle speed.

A Safety Loop does not make an unsuitable driveshaft safe for higher speeds and does not replace any necessary driveshaft upgrade. It does, however, provide an additional safeguard for the worst-case scenario if the driveshaft or one of its connections should fail.

Heavy-duty bolt-on construction

The DSL017 is manufactured from 0.25-inch laser-cut steel plate and attaches to the factory transmission crossmember. Its fully bolt-on design requires no welding.

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