which axle side gets destroyed??
I'm not sure about DSS Stage 2 axles, but as for the stock axles, both sides are the same piece, the passenger side just has a small, removable rubber boot at the end for the intermediate shaft. I've only been through 4 on the driver's side because of a loose mount, so I've used both.

Hatrick you are kidding yourself the slicks mask it! the hop remains the cv joint cant handle the excessive operational angles outside its design intent. get a hero camera and video the axle joint.... and .so if you follow the data i am giving you just change one for assymetrical stiffness in the shaft configuration.

check out the axles on a hhr ss or a cobalt ss tc the axles are way beefier. I've broke both stocks and one stage 2 lol. but seriously before going to dss check out prices for hhr ss axles they should fit with no issues, and they look stronger than the stage 2's.

what about that thread where the guy's father owned a parts warehouse or something. He was looking at some different axles that were $150 each or something...don't remember....but i think the axles were thicker?? Anything ever come out of that????
nice run there STU....I have been following some of your posts...

to fit turbo parts the shafts are way beefier, you gotta change the wheel bearing etc etc and i doubt the wheel speed signal is the same in fact if you have delphi abs - 05-06 it will not be compatible

i think to prevent all these axles from breaking. if wheel hop starts slip clutch or let go of the gas. Don't drop the hammer from a stop and making a turn. and don't do burnouts going forwards while rolling slowly backwards. oh and don't take a sledge hammer to a axle. that usually breaks them also.

You are correct in the aspect of wheel hop elimination. However, for maximizing the torque to the ground, that is the 2nd benifit of mounts. With that mod, your mounts still move, and that movement is taking torque, which means less torque to your wheels. Mounts are multi purpose and do many things.
