And the axle bars are CNC rolled splines for optimal CV fitment and unparalleled strength.

As always on DSS Pro-Level axles, 300M is used for the bars as it is the strongest, most torsional material, allowing for twist under load to decrease shock loads. This eliminates the need for a bolt-on stub flange for the outer CV, and being a fixed (non-plunging) Outer CV design will allows DSS to increase the size on the internals for more strength and reduced wear. The outer CV is the new DSS 2-piece design, utilizing a 300M spline stub mated to DSS's new fixed outer CV housing. Starting with the new Chromoly Proprietary Ball & Cage Style Inner CV allowing for more support for the bearings and reducing overall wear.

The new Pro Level axles are a complete redesign with the intention to not only increase strength, but increase longevity as well. These driveshafts are covered by a one year warranty against manufacturing defects.Introducing the new 2015+ Mustang 2000HP Rated Level 6 Direct-Fit Axles from The Driveshaft Shop. Tighten the six bolts on each side (cross/star pattern) to the recommended torque. Then it is likely easiest to mount to the transmission side first, as this side plunges, compress it toward the transmission to get the rear CV into the adapter. As for install, mount the adapter plates first to the transmission (CAPL-9 plate) and differential (CAPL-10 plate). The 6 x 10mm bolts that thread into the plates should be torqued to 57 ft-lbs, and the 12mm bolts that go through the adapters should be 70 ft-lbs. We recommend using blue Loctite on the bolts.

Includes the required adapter plates and hardware. This is typically seen with solid or poly mounts being present in the drivetrain as they don’t allow for harmonics to dissipate and end up resonating back into the tube. With a one-piece driveshaft, which is a hollow tube, if there are issues with harmonics, the harmonics will amplify through the tube. This is why the stock shaft requires the rubber giubos and hanger bearing to dampen it.Īs for vibration, when you eliminate the ability to dissipate the harmonics that occur in a vehicle it will find the least path of resistance. Doing the math, the 3.5” aluminum should be good to a 150 mph top speed.ĭriveshaft Shop doesn’t recommend a chromoly shaft because they would be very heavy and have a tendency of transferring harmonics since the material is so much more rigid. The benefit is much more dramatic in higher horsepower applications. The aluminum driveshafts have much more torsional strength than steel, (about 15° under load versus about 5° for steel). When Driveshaft Shop started balancing driveshafts in their high-speed machine they realized this and developed their own CV stub designs to use these instead. The main one is that no matter how tight the tolerances are on these parts they will develop play at high RPM. There are several reasons for why our manufacturer stopped using the male/female sliders more than ten years ago in all of the one-piece driveshafts they manufacture. There are some driveshafts on the market using a male/female slider for the extension/compression needed in this configuration and u-joints, whereas we use a dual CV design with our Driveshaft Shop’s own CV’s, CV mounting components and adapters. We will also be eliminating the hanger bearing and the rear rubber giubo couplers, which will increase responsiveness, acceleration and provide a more direct transfer of power to the wheels.
#Driveshaft shop upgrade
Complete with aluminum couplers and all mounting hardware, these weigh in at 29.0 pounds (A8).Įven though this is not a huge weight difference, the aluminum driveshaft will be a significant upgrade as it will be lighter and have more torsional strength than the factory steel driveshaft. We have worked with Driveshaft Shop and are proud to bring aluminum driveshafts to the ATS-V market. They have rubber giubo couplers on both ends, which are used to transmit the torque. Our factory driveshafts are two-piece units with a carrier bearing assembly in the center.
