I installed stage 2 axles from DSS on my car a few weeks back and almost every time with just normal driving 2nd and 3rd gear from 2-3500 rpms the entire car vibrates like its going over a bed of rocks and then stops....

-2nd went to the track last night for first time with them, wheel hop threw second and 3rd gear on every single run......

-I think something is seriously wrong here but im trying to see if anyone else with these axles is having the same trouble , any help would be great ! thanks guyz.

 

i have the stage 3 axels with no problems, are you sure it is the axels?

 

so what whp do you guys think you start to need dss axels? i got stocks and 270 whp now, going to see how long these last. then do it again on stock cause its free. just was wondering what to expect

 

what else would be causing it ? it happen almost right after those were installed

 

axles dont cause wheel hop, suspension and tires do

 

oh and now that i think about, if you have a vibration like that, it could be a broken motor mount, excessive engine movement can cause wheel hop

right but the motor mount is not broken, and it only does the vibration and hop at a certain speed and gear........

-plus i have Tein HA suspension and falken tires, so i dont think there causing it, cuz like i said i never had this problem until after the axle upgrade.......

right.... sounds like what mine dide when i had a broken mount

the stress from hard launches, high speeds etc will inevitably take out the weakst link

 

answer your AIM : ) so we can talk more. my mounts do not appear to be broken..........

also there is another 5th gen lude around here having the exact same problems and he just installed the DSS stage 2 axles as well..........i think theres more to this.

 

well i was running stock axles and changed them to DSS stage 2 becuase a CV went bad... The stock axle did fine with the hp in the sig and slicks... here are some pics of what happend on the 3rd run with the DSS....

 

$700 out the window!!!!!!!!!! &lt;300whp broke their claimed 400hp axels! Lame!
People just keep telling me NAPA after my OEMs break.....but all they can say is Lifetime warranty! Thats nice and all, but I don't think I want to be replacing axels every time I launch hard!

 

thats lame, is there a warenty?

 

was yours doing the same thing mine are now ? That is really lame that it snapped on you like that..........what are you running now ? any reccomendations as to what i should do ?

SAME EXACT ******* THING HAPPENED 2 TIMES TO ME WITH DSS AXLES

I've had better luck with NAPA units

 

NO!!!!!

The NAPA axle they put in before the DSS stage 2 in the pictures snapped at the other end (in the tranny housing) and screws my brother's Quaife diff! That's why he got the DSS... i told him to go Enjo! lol

 

are the Enjo axles any good ?

 

I thought I was the only one who had this problem. I broke 2 stg 1 axles with a stock motor and street tires. They finally upgraded me to stg 2 axles for free (after a long phone debate) and so far I haven't broken them. I also have a really bad vibration/shimmy in 2nd and 3rd gear. It almost feels like a cracked bearing in the inner joint, but I haven't taken them apart to see. It seems to me like a set of pepboys $50 cheapos are what I need. I just don't want them to break in the middle of a race.

 

so far im fine with 260 @ 6psi on stock axles..

 

honestly from all I've seen I'm thinking OEM honda axles are damn good. 270+hp and they hold up rather well.
