Solution was to get longer bolts so that all threads engage. I still haven't done it yet on mine @blsfrs do you remember if all the threads engaged on yours?
On my DSS AL I had full thread engagement.

But that 1/1000 is bad enough for a safety recall. 1/1000 * 100,000 cars is 100 failed cars that could kill people in the first year. And then the car companies look at a car's life over 20-30 years, and they start to sweat, because that 100 failures can become 10,000 or more if things go badly. Hence we get our valve springs recalled.

But you? In a car you probably inspect often? Fuggetaboutit.
Fair enough point.


@blsfrs I would call, not just email. If they don't help you out let me know. I have another spare stock drive shaft and a DSS AL that are both used. You can have either one for the cost of shipping. I only need to keep one as a spare and I have both these laying around.
