DSS DS for ~4k miles.
Started making this sound last night. Light metal to metal sound.
10 miles later...LOUD and car shakes. Cv joint? Rear teeth?

Unhook the driveshaft and see if it still makes the sound. It sounds like something in the rear end.

Ya I'll put it on the lift after work today and take it off.

That sucks

Sounds like the diff went boom. No fun

I was thinking the same thing

Drag radials? Manual? Diff :shrug:

Only 2 passes on car, but a lot of data logging recently...did a lot of upgrades over winter. Auto on
DRs. I'll find out in a couple hours.

Sounds like there is no fluid in the diff.

That's a vid of the cv joint. Thanks John

ArtVandalay16 · Mar 14, 2014

Stock shaft in, no sound or vibration...

32V Stang · Mar 14, 2014

is that a dss?

ArtVandalay16 · Mar 14, 2014

Yes. They're going to warranty it. Sending it off Monday. Great customer service.

slagburn · Mar 14, 2014

That's crazy. Glad they're taking care of it, beats a diff overhaul any day.

Punisher1401 · Mar 14, 2014

so is it the joint in the shaft?

me32 · Mar 15, 2014

That sucks but at least its an easy fix

ArtVandalay16 · Mar 15, 2014

Ya, it sounds like I may have received one during a bad batch. Yes, cv joint failed.

davidhuff · Mar 15, 2014

Could you post a few pictures of the failed driveshaft?

ArtVandalay16 · Mar 16, 2014

Not a whole lot to see being that the cv failed. My pinion angle was set to -2 like I was advised...not sure why it failed.
