There's another forum post going on right now that is talking about the same thing. IMO this seems to be ocurring more and more and everytime I read about it, it's on the passenger side of the car. A buddy of mine at Camaro Fest snapped his on the passenger side as well and had to limp off the track. Luckily he was able to get a new pair there from Janetty and the Lingenfelter race crew installed them for him. Thing is, my buddy had no mods done except a cold air intake, no tune or anything. Here's the other thread. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=88829

Uncle Robin runs the stock rear axles with slicks on his 6XX rwhp LSA powered camaro. and he's cutting 1.60 60's that being said, given the right circumstances, launching a 4000lbs car can take its toll on parts.

Upgrade the axles.. they will handle the abuse. The stock axles suck.

Yep, the BMR shop car broke an axle. Cant remember which one but it inst a big power car either.
They installed a set of our axles a couple weeks ago so it doesnt happen again. It's usually the axle that breaks right where it necks down at the boot. Thanks Chris @ Gforce |

Yeah we tore up a passenger side axle launching the car at the track. We now have a set of the gforce axles which have worked flawlessly. If you are looking for a set of axles that will hold up to the abuse give me a call at the shop and I can get you set up with something that will work.

my passenger side has this roaring noise most noticeable in the morning when I make a left hand turn either backing or going forward, is it the axle or the rear end? I guess I need to take it in it's getting louder.
