Ride Height and Axle Life

These axles are designed around the suspension geometry of a Camaro at factory ride height. At the correct height, the internal CV remains near the center of the housing and has room to move as the suspension compresses and extends.

A mildly lowered Camaro may still have adequate CV travel. However, excessive lowering can cause the CV to bottom out inside the housing, which can damage or break the axle.

Factory ride height is recommended for maximum axle life.

Wheel Hop and Drivetrain Shock

Wheel hop can damage upgraded axles because the tires repeatedly grip and release, sending severe shock loads through the drivetrain. Stronger axles do not eliminate wheel hop.

If the vehicle experiences wheel hop, inspect the suspension and drivetrain mounting points. Trailing arms, toe rods, cradle bushings, differential bushings, shocks, springs, and tires can all affect wheel hop.

For manual-transmission cars, dumping the clutch is not recommended. Sudden clutch engagement can shock the axles, differential, driveshaft, and transmission.

CV Boot Inspection and Maintenance

Inspect the axles after drag racing, hard launches, severe wheel hop, road course use, or other hard driving.

• Check the inner and outer CV boots for tears or cracking
• Look for grease leaking from either CV boot
• Listen for clicking, popping, or unusual drivetrain noises
• Check for new vibration during acceleration
• Inspect for excessive heat or visible damage

A torn CV boot can allow grease to escape and contaminants to enter the joint. Loss of lubrication can cause the CV joint to overheat and fail.

2010-2015 Camaro SS Axle FAQ

What axles do I need for a 700 HP Camaro SS?

These Driveshaft Shop axles are suitable for many 700-horsepower Camaro SS builds and are designed for applications producing up to 2,000 wheel horsepower. Actual durability depends on traction, suspension setup, ride height, transmission type, wheel hop, and launch technique.

Are these direct replacements for the factory axles?

Yes. They are designed to replace the factory driver-side and passenger-side axle assemblies on the 2010-2015 Camaro SS.

Will these axles work with an Eaton Truetrac differential?

Based on Phastek fitment knowledge, these axles can be used with an Eaton Truetrac setup that retains the correct factory-style axle fitment. Modified or non-standard differential configurations should be verified before ordering.

Can these axles be used on a lowered Camaro?

They may work with a mildly lowered Camaro. Excessive lowering can cause the CV to bottom out inside the housing and may lead to axle failure. Factory ride height is recommended.

Will upgraded axles stop wheel hop?

No. Wheel hop is caused by suspension movement, bushing deflection, tire traction, shock control, and vehicle setup. The cause of the wheel hop must be corrected separately.

Can a torn CV boot cause axle failure?

Yes. A torn boot can allow grease to leak out, causing the CV joint to overheat, wear, and fail.

Can I dump the clutch with these axles?

Dumping the clutch is not recommended. The sudden shock load can damage the axles or another drivetrain component.

Are these axles only for drag racing?

No. They are designed for high-performance street cars that may also see occasional drag racing, road course, or autocross use.
