That's the first I hear of the axles being the same, from what I understood the 1le had similar axles of the same thickness but they were slightly different and that the ss had different axles as well. I could be wrong though.
They use the GM PN on axles for M6 cars anyway.
And if the diff on the vert ZL1 is the same as the SS cars - that would pass the warranty test. Point here being - they could put the LT4 in a SS or LT1 if they wanted to without making it a full ZL1. But I just don't see the business opportunity. I wonder how many base style Hellcats Dodge sells vs. the wide-body with the 315 square tire set-up.
