Broken Axle
 

Right side axle joint just broke in half. I thought these were supposed to be the upgraded axles? Car has a little over 1700 miles. I had the car in first gear and rolled into it at about 20mph and all of a sudden it sounded like a shot gun went off. This is the second new camaro that I have bought within 6 months and have had major issues with. The first one was a valve spring in the motor that let go...this sucks.

Ouch....Hope it gets fixed soon man.

Hope it was a freak accident and your parts don't take too long to come in.

Sorry to hear about that

Wow, sorry to hear about this. Hope you get everything taken care of quickly.

I'm curious what modifications did you make if any?

C.A.I. kit

Sucks. Shake it off. I do that all the time in my SS with no issues. Bad part.

Wow that sucks I thought you added a supercharger or something like that . Wish the zl1 differentials were stock on the 1le.

Call me crazy but I had the same issue with my SS. I drove it home the first day and it broke a valve spring with 60 miles on the ODO. Then it was in the shop again a month ago and all the valve springs weren't up to spec either. I swear, there is something weak about these valve springs.

Must be a defective part.

Yeah a CAI should've not done that. Did you get a chance to look at the part and see if it broke right around a crack/nick/chip etc. in the shaft? Must be a defective part.

Really sorry to hear that though, wish you all the best and I wouldn't worry about it too much, you are under warranty and a half shaft is not that bad to replace at the dealer. Valve springs is another deal.

The axle broke at the joint going into the diff. I really hope it was just a bad part but the car does wheel hop a good bit more than the ss did.

Sorry to hear about that. Hope all goes well.
