Both factory... It was a 3 week wait time on dss axles and its my only car.. It seems to me as soon as you lower it and put a little stress on them they snap like twigs.. thanks toyota

Yeah well I managed to get 600hp rated DSS axles in a week. They've been on for less than a week and already faulty.
Great stuff huh.

Surprised you kept it if you're driving it like that and not drifting it. If I can't resolve this bs with axles I'll flick mine.

So where's the stress being moved to if the axles are no longer the weak point? The diff?

Might be cheaper in the long run to replace axles instead whatever else breaks in their place.

I can see in the pictures where the clamp is dented (2nd and last one), may be from shipping you are a long way from charlotte. its hard to say but once the seal is broken the grease will come out. we stand behind the product and this is the same part used on the STI, its not the CV that would be impossible. im sure its coming from the boot. when you sent the email we did respond but i did not hear back, you know we will stand behind this and always have. its much easier to contact us then post up about.

as for the ones who say they have broke parts, i have to ask what broke (not sure if any have), this is the same set of axles in the Greddy Pro drift car. please if you want to just complain i get it but if you want help this is not to go about. my direct email is frank@driveshaftshop.com im the owner and will welcome any critisism and i assure you we will help with what ever has to be done, lowering the car will not make the axle have an issue.

They're still leaking grease after raising the car 20mm to which both my tuner and I thought should fix the issue.

Must be an issue with these axles specifically. I'm not getting a lot of help from the DSS either.

Here's a few pics of them leaking grease just from driving home from work...

A tiny bit of grease comes out and you bag the axles out as being bad? Climb that mountian...

Well first of all it wasn't a tiny amount. It covered the inside of both wheels and went everywhere in the surrounding area. It was also all over the upper and lower control arms. It's was a right mess actually, so you're comment is incorrect.

The pic of the 'tiny amount' was what was still leaking out after raising the car to decrease the angle of the axles.

We've now removed the factory clamps that came on the axles with new clamps that we had to replace after less than a week. Not leaking now.

Thanks for your opinion.

Apologies for the delay mate.

This is the height since being raised. It would of been at least 10mm lower as which when we had the initial problems. We're reclamped the CV's now and it seems to be holding the grease.

Wow, that is low 3.9 inches to the ground!

do i need this 600hp axles if my tire 285 and fa20 boosted?
