If they don't make it right I will be throwing these in the ****ing trash and going with dss. The fact of having to pay people to do this every time, then pay to package them for shipping them back. It would be different if they would send me a new one or new set then I send these back compared to having to send them in and wait form them to receive them, then send me a set back. This car is my daily driver and the damn stock axles lasted longer than these.

I had one issue with a DSS hub for the 9". One started leaking. Nothing serious and I actually couldn't find anyone else with that issue. Anyways they sent me a replacement with no questions asked and a return label to sent the leaking one back. I do my own work and was done by noon so hardly any down time and no money spent on shipping.

Any update on what is being done to correct this ?

They are supposed to be sending me one out today. I guess we will see what happens. The people at g-force seem to be great people on taking care of issues but still pisses me off that I spend the money on all high dollar stuff and it breaks more now then it did with stock stuff.

I feel your pain. I ended up just putting the stock axles back in. Been running them the last 2 years. More reliable for a daily driver for me anyway. The nice new set replaced by the high horsepower version mfg sit unused in a box if I need ever them.

I broke one stock CV. But lets just say I broke many more then one of the high performance ones...

My post was not directed to any specific supplier or manufacturer. Rather to the comment I quoted in my post above only.
But still my experience is factual.

Never broke a stock one either.... On the second set then one axle again.

Did gForce provide reason why this lastest one broke ?

It was a material fracture caused by a heat treat issue. Sometimes during heat treating to make the material stronger a small crack can form and after time it causes the material to break. Doesn't happen often but when it does it looks like the material shattered instead of twisted in two.
That's where our Lifetime warranty comes in handy. If this was to happen 3, 4 or more years down the road it would be covered and replaced.

Thanks
