Default dss axle breaking

ok i got the first generation dss axles, the stage right before u change the hub and axles, i broke the pass. side on the dyno and when i went to the track yesterday the driver side snap on the first launch, and when i was driving home the whole car was shaking so i had to replace the pass side too. will camber out affect the breakage because when i go to the track i raise my coilovers all the way up 500 hp on 20 lbs of boost

I remember the 1st gen dss'. The shaft itself coned down the the axle joints. They were notorious for breaking, at least around here. I would get a up to date set....They have supposedly upgraded the the axles/joints/hubs not to long ago.

IMO you want the axles as neutral as possible. Don't force them into odd angles. Think about it...

DSS has been great to us...get the new updated axles and you will be fine. Plus they offer a 1 year warranty!
