Angry Yet another victom of a broken axle...

Yea, so I went to the track yesterday to run my car, and I only got one run in due to axle breakage. I ran a 14.9 @ 94 while hitting the rev limiter in first and second, but it was the first time I ever ran this car, and only the 3rd time ever running. I did get a .119 r/t though!

So the second run, I didn't do a burnout, and tried to launch at 1500, then SNAP. So I have to go rent a car dolly from U-Haul to pick my car up from an hour away.

This is gay.

they'll scream abuse... depending on how bad it is especially... i wouldn't get your hopes up on warranty, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Well, the dealer is saying that I race my car, something about the clutch and axle, but I work today, so I have to go back tomorrow to see what they say. Anyone know where I can get an OEM axle for cheap? Did anyone upgrade and want to sell me thier passenger side one?

I had the same problem. I snapped my left axle at the track, called GM roadside assistance and had my car towed (FREE) to the closest Chevy dealer. They replaced the axle no questions asked. I have an 07 SS/SC with 5k miles. Word of advice - if one dealership says no, go to another...

Is this an 07 SS? Cause the only models I have heard of this happening on is the 07's. Ever heard of it happening on a 06 or older?

No, its an 06, and was on bald stock tires too... Its been fixed for a while now, but when I towed my car, it ripped the front lip straight off my car... Anyone have a SS/SC front lip laying around?

Dang, that sucks. Why won't the company who towed the car pay for the repair or a new front lip for you?
