Axle dilemma
So about about 2 months ago I went to the drag strip and broke my passenger side axle on the second pass. I ordered a pair of DSS but it’ll be 7 weeks since as of this coming Monday. I have not received any ETA from the vendor and he has tried to get me time frames from the manufacturer DSS and that is with a claimed 4-4.5 weeks. I have a Rally event on May 9th and my bday is May 8th so really hope to make that.
I have spoken to Gforce and they claimed they could have a set within 2 weeks. There is also someone in the forum selling a pair of stockers so I could also by those for the mean time. A. So should I cancel the DSS order and order the Gforce axles? B. Keep the order with DSS but order the stockers for the mean time? (This part sucks bc I will have to do the job twice) C. Stick with the DSS order Be patient and risk not making the event? Any other suggestions are appreciated. |

D. Order the GForce but leave the DSS order in. When one ships, cancel the other one.

I get you, my car has only been down for 4 week and it is frustrating having to wait for part to finish your build. At this point I am thinking about contacting pray performance about his stage 2 blower cam and what would be his lead time.

Who tuned your car, i am going to have my car remote tune but at the moment i am undecided on which shop to contact. I would like to dyno tune my car by a reputable shop, unfortunately I can't trailer my car and I dont trust any local shop to tune my car.

Well, it has been 7 weeks and no word from DSS. I canceled the order and ordered a set of GFORCE axles. Hope to have something in the next few weeks.

I bought my GForce Outlaw axles earlier this month and they arrived in about 2 weeks FWIW. My install shop has been raving about how nice they are, so I think you made a good move.

I think so too. They told me about 2-3 weeks so way better than the 4 1/2 weeks DSS claimed and it’s been 7 weeks without a peep from them.

I also have the GForce 3.5” aluminum DS and it’s butter smooth. Just seems to be a better company IMO. Good luck!
