I have had the DSS aluminum shaft since December and about 1200 total miles, 115 track miles. No vibration, noise or contact with the chassis or exhaust. Installation is straight forward, you need to remove 1 side of your exhaust pipes between the muffler and h pipe. Remove the stock shaft, bolts have thread locking compound so they are tight, make sure you have the correct 12 point socket for the front flange bolts. Next clean the old bolts and run them in and out of the flanges to remove as much of the old thread lock as possible and clean out with brake cleaner. You have to install the new rear axle flange adapter with the Allen cap screws provided torque per instructions (59 ft/lbs) I believe then install shaft. Using red locktite The stock front bolts are reinstalled, don't torque yet and then lift the rear of the shaft into place aligning the CV joint with the holes in the adapter flange. Install those bolts with red locktite and torque in 2 steps in a criss cross fashion to 30 then 59 ft/lbs. torque the 4 front bolts to 83 ft/lbs. Reinstall exhaust and test drive, there should be no issues. Enjoy the reduced weight , drive line clunks and improved acceleration.
