I've got the G85 with both the Recaros and the LSD and I haven't snapped mine as of yet. I have pushed her fairly hard as well...Eh, could be luck of the draw too

 

On a damn near stock car.

 

This thread should be called who HASENT broken axles, I never broke any in my ol balt, but they werew clicking pretty bad, 33k miles

 

The click could be from the car being lowered as well. That causes a pretty decent amount of wear and tear on the suspension and all

 

I highly doubt the best LSD on the market "sucks"......it's usually on the driver not really knowing when to back out of it to save an axel or as someone else said, just pushing the axels to the absolute limit.

Nah, the click is common. I have it too, I fear it to be a bad CV joint. I've had it since the car was practically new but the dealer refused to fix under warranty.

 

I have not broken my axles after 20 or so passes at the track with some pretty hard launches. If I start wheel hopping I get out of it immediately. All my passes in the Cobalt are at Gateway which is pretty slick compared to other tracks I've been at so that might help.

 

i never broke my axles 6 passes at the track, and i beat on my car pretty good 2.5 pullied setup. i think its all in the driver

 

Ok and?

 

c/a stage 6 is pretty far from stock... and now driveshaft shop stage 2 setup

 

I did at the track saturday..... went to do a quick rotate of the tires and ended up snapping them..... drive side one for sure not sure about the passanger side one yet..... and that was on stock tires with 13k on whole car

 

the axles that you buy at bwoody or any other place will hold up right?

 

i believe the driveshaft shop axles are rated to 400+ ftlbs of torque.

 

Broke 3 in total. 2 on stock tires, and one on a set or DRs. 2 of them were driver's side.

And they can barely handle wheelhop any more than the stock ones.

 

snapped the driver side axel with full bwoody mount's and traction bars.. the driver said came loose after the 16th run of the night. stage 2 07 RL with bolt on's and was trapping at 99 at palmdale HOT lappin the **** out of it. stock tires (dunlop's) and was comp package. snaped right off the line on my first 4k launch.. all the other's were 2500 to 3200..


P.S. has anybody snapped the DSS stage 2 axels?

 

had around 25 runs at the track this past saturday, i ran it real hard. Had some insane wheel hop on 2 runs but i let off when it happened and limped my way down the track. Glad they didn't go out on me, that would suck horribly.

 

im waiting to hear if anyone has had any problems with aftermarket axles too. ANYONE?

 

im pretty sure i can break them pretty easily if i did a burn out for 10 seconds

 

ive done a burnout for over 10 seconds on stock axles. but i dnt trust em. anyone know where i could pick up a pair of aftermarket??? or have a price estimate?

 

ive burnt out for a good min on stock axles lol... right before i got my kdw 2s lmao im still fine

 

you dont have LSD G85 package.., do you?

 

I don't and I've burned out for a good minute or so with BOTH tires spinning.

 

k.. true.. but with the g85 lsd... no matter what... when 1 wheel spins... the other HAS to... hence why people with g85 get redic. amount of wheel hop... and then by the time you back out of it.. you either perfectly fine.. or by by shaft

 

i have g85 and race all the time and some times on hoosier qtp but i guess i know how to drive. o and i have no mounts and no traction bars or no stiffy.

have i ever talked to you at the track. cause im up there every tuesday.

and you werent pusthing the car to its limits you just cant drive. and your a tard and didnt listen to me.
