A precision-engineered V2 driveline correction kit lowering the engine, transmission, and cardan shaft to restore factory geometry on lifted Cayenne, Touareg, and Audi Q7 models. Built from 7075 aluminium for superior strength and long-term durability.

The AkiOverland Version 2 Engine, Transmission & Cardan Shaft Drop Kit is engineered specifically for owners lifting their Porsche Cayenne 955/957/958, VW Touareg 7L/7P, and Audi Q7 4L by 2 to 3 inches. Lifted vehicles experience increased driveline angles, premature cardan shaft wear, bearing carrier stress, and potential vibration at speed. This kit directly corrects those issues.

Why this kit exists — and why it's essential

Most lift kits (air or spring) alter the natural angle between the transmission output shaft, cardan shaft, and differential input. Over time this can cause:

• Driveline vibration

• Accelerated bearing carrier wear

• Stress on gearbox mounts

• Harshness under throttle load

• Shortened cardan shaft lifespan

The V2 kit lowers the engine, transmission, and central driveline by a calibrated amount to return those components to factory-spec geometry, eliminating unwanted angles created by lift hardware.

Premium 7075 aluminium — not mild steel

All components are CNC-machined from 7075-T6 aerospace aluminium, chosen for:

• Extremely high yield strength

• Superior fatigue resistance

• Light weight compared to steel

• Thermal stability in harsh conditions

This allows safe use in lifted vehicles operating in off-road environments or high-load applications.

Included Hardware

Engine Drop System

• 2 × Engine Drop Spacers (7075-T6 aluminium)

Transmission Drop System

• 6 × Transmission Drop Spacers (7075-T6 aluminium)

Cardan Shaft Bearing Carrier Drop

• Gen 1 (955/957): 4 pieces

• Gen 2 (958/7P): 2 pieces

Each component is engineered to lower the driveline by the correct proportional distance to match lifts (please specify during checkout if otherwise)

Vehicle Compatibility

Porsche Cayenne

• 955 (2002–2006)

• 957 (2007–2010)

• 958 (2011–2017)

Volkswagen Touareg

• 7L (2003–2010)

• 7P (2011–2018)

Audi Q7

• 4L (2006–2015)

Perfectly suited for vehicles using:

• Air suspension lift kits

• Spring suspension lift kits

• Mixed setups with spacer + strut extension systems

Installation Notes

• Professional installation recommended.

• Check for exhaust clearance when lowering engine mounts.

• Always verify driveline runout after installation.

• Designed to be used with subframe drop kits — ideal for owners who want driveline correction without lowering the full chassis.
