The screws are stronger that came with the driveshaft.

So, you broke one of these same grade bolts before and you replaced them with same grade bolts...why, again?

What hardness are the stock bolts? I'd assume Grade 8, shown on the bolt head as 8.8. I've seen Grade 10 at my local Ace Hardware, for what it's worth, just not a lot of selection in size.

the torx ones said 10.9

Driveshaftshop · 05-09-2013, 06:26 PM

I think the real issue here is the Giubo twists so much it puts more stress on the bolts because of the weight of the car. with the single shaft its more direct and will not let go.

we have them in both Aluminum and Carbon.

Matt @ FSP · 05-09-2013, 06:52 PM

The DSS Aluminum or Carbon shafts are the way to go. It eliminates that soft rubber guibo that twists and moves under heavy acecleration, even worse so on a modified car that accelerates faster

We use DSS on all of our applications from the Vettes to the Camaros. Always have great deals on Frank's DSS components, and only one that we use in our car... 1.39 60' in a 4100 lb car with his components all day long!

The marking on the head is the property class of the metric bolt. Property class defines hardness and tensile strength

8.8 = Rockwell C22-C32 (M5 thru M16)
8.8 = Rockwell C23 - C34 (M18 thru M39)
10.9 = Rockwell C32 - C39
12.9 = Rockwell C39 - C44

A 10.9 grade metric bolt is the equivalant to a grade 8 standard bolt.
We use metric grade 10.9 or 12.9 on everything.

Thanks
Chris

FYI, some of these numbers are no longer correct according to my dealer. Coupler to Diff Yoke remains unchanged. Here are the revised numbers:

Coupler to trans yoke:
Bolt- 92139225 (x3)

I presume this is the fix for snapping bolts on lower numbers.

Same torque specs then?

Bumping this old thread. Does anyone have torque specs for these bolts, specifically for the newer part numbers?

How about torque specs for 92228335/92228333? I'm wondering if they revised the torque specs for those.
