This is interesting as i have these in my car also. I never took the car to speed prior to there installation. I have since and noticed a vibration or what I thought was road noise. I'll have to put the stock ones in next week and check it too.
Please keep me informed of what you discover.
Thanks for paying attention!

FYI, I sent a request to the Drive Shaft Shop about this issue. They feel it is highly unlikely the shafts are causing vibration but offered for me to return mine for review. I declined at the time as I am not sure if there is an issue or it is just road noise. I will report back after checking further.
Excellent customer service as far as I am concerned, immediate response.
Three Windy City double thumbs up!

I played with mine this afternoon and didn't notice anything. Hopefully it was just a fluke and the rest are fine. Hope all works out for you.

It only took me about 30 minutes per side for the r&r, it was a pretty simple job.

i heard back from the d/s shop yesterday and he told me one of the races in the outer cv joint on the left side of the car was not properly heat treated and was coming apart this was the axle with all the play he said they disassembled both axles and that was the problem so he said they were able to rebuild it and they are on the way back to me

Nice to hear they owned up to a problem and are fixing it. That is good business and good customer service. The consumer wins. Nice to see nowadays.

i feel they still owe him something for his time. at a shop you would have paid probly min 2hrs labor each swap, our shop is $100/hr.

I know you guys are probably thinking that this problem is a big concern. let me say it is not at all!!! I have there 400hp axles on my cobalt and my dad has the 600hp axles on his vette they are top quality and take very good care of their customers... I had a CV joint boot blow apart on me and they replaced it for free with no questions asked.
