My dss800 passenger axle broke last weekend at the track. 463 rwhp n/a mustang gt. Mods in signature.

I called and talked to DSS. They are sending me two new axles for free. Better replace both for peace of mind is what they said. No hassle, nothing. Just a few pictures and my car details, and done.

Great company that stands behind their product!

I know sometimes we have vendor issues, but we should also let people know of the great things these vendors are doing.

Thank you Drive Shaft Shop! I'll be buying my drive shaft soon as well!

DSS has great service - when I sent my half shafts in for a rebuild (early ones with the bolts that backed out) they sent me brand new ones in return.

They have had some issues. its why i went with ford racing half shafts! No issues at all here. To me once you break one your confidence in them also gets broken!

I think half the battle is how vendors handle situations.

Every product has flaws, it's the people and company response after the fact that counts.

DSS warranty is really only for 6 months if you read their website. I've had these for over a year. They didn't even question it. Just replaced them. And gave me a good discount on a driveshaft. :)

For two years they were the only brand besides Ford Racing. Ford's were at one point back ordered and priced twice as much so I'd wager they have 10% of the market that DSS does....

Yeah but the way things are now, you get what you pay for! all i had to see was the build quality of my Ford Racing half shafts and the lifetime warranty and i was sold.
