VIBRATION ISSUE WITH DSS 1400 HP AXLES - Page 5 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Darth_Emma · 03-23-2012, 08:50 AM

I bought my DSS 9" kit in December. It is supposed to go in my car next month. What was the cut off date for building the newer type axles? I'd like to make sure I have the newer type axles BEFORE the kit is installed by my shop.

I agree.

But what breaks next after installing stronger axles can cost a lot more $ opposed to the stock axles, I just think it may be a good idea to do it all at once. Just have to take it easy for a little while.

Its a relief to hear that the new 1000hp axles i just recieved should be the cure for the sets of 1400hp axles ive gone through. Ive thought for some time now that the car being lowered was conflicting with the axles. frank and the DSS have been very helpful! Sometimes it take time to investigate an issue like this. DSS IS TOP NOTCH! Ill be installing the new 1000hp axles in the car tomorrow and then ill go beat the hell out of it! We run the 1400hp axles in a customers very low 10 sec camaro with ZERO issues. Is car is stock height though.

Thanks for your help, you really helped me out. They should do the job until I get the drivetrain strengthened. You deserve some really good feebback!

Thanks Frank! Axles in and vibration gone! I have already started telling everyone what an awesome company DSS is!

Fiftydriver · 04-02-2012, 07:34 PM

I have had the DSS 1400 HP axles in for about 1500 miles and NO problems. Are these vibration issues something that comes on pretty quick or can it come on down the road?

if you have a set with the bad races it comes on almost immediately, with that many miles im sure your good but i will always offer a replacement if you want down the road.
