Broke dss 2000 half shaft!

That may be the point, if you can't buy a better one, someone needs to make a better one. Maybe you, maybe me.

Me, not so much. Past my expiration date.

Little bit of a ‘tude, from a new member, ok... just trying to offer up some info - you posted, I’m providing facts and not BS like what you’ll get elsewhere...

Some school for you:
The 03/04 Terminators were having the same issues well before the S550 came to fruition.... guess what they were breaking too... DSS.

What many Termi owners went to were G-Force shafts, that could withstand a lot of power, didn’t fail and come recommended from many high HP owners.

So, when you have time, read this:
http://www.mustangandfords.com/how-...les-fragility-to-rest-with-gforce-engineering

And this (scroll down to the half shaft section):
http://terminator-cobra.com/suspension.htm#Half-Shafts

and here’s 1 of the offerings from G-Force for the S550:

I know I know, everyone has their favorites and because Bobby Joe pushes DSS warez on here or others “like them”, no one does research and just follows the sheeple.

Best of luck - there’s many threads on here too about DSS issues.

ok I’ll read over everything. . I don’t care about one brand or the other I want what works. I’ll read everything and see what i come up with then. From my experience doesn’t hurt to have a second set around

I am following lethal performance build pretty close and they have a very close setup. So who knows thats part of the fun having a race car.

My girlfriend bought me this picture tonight

I see that you have several suspension upgrades to help prevent or at least limit wheel hop, but did you by chance experience any on that launch?

nothing on launch watched several videos and it was awesome. Go pro and 3 different angles.

Race cars break stuff. Take note of the life (whether mileage or # of launches). Replace the next set at 80% of that value.

That camber is rough.... If you're drag racing a lot you need static camber to be at least 0 or a touch on the positive side. That much camber isn't gonna help any half shaft.

According to my guy who does alignments for a lot of fast cars said it was close to 0 and they are supposed to slant in when going down the track. I left that stuff up to him

But I did opt for Gforce renegades while the dss are being rebuilt. Installed and car is doing great. Interesting not having a first gear though.

Good luck - and stick around on this site - LOTS of knowledgeable folks and we’re always willing to help a fellow S550 owner out.

When is your next track visit?
