Default DSS Level 5 Axles Ver.2

All I can say is wow!!! I have never even seen these on a 350Z. When I opened the box I was like Whoooaaa!!!! O_o those are the wrong axles but nope they are the correct P/N. So then I competed them to my pro axles and they are the same length so I feel excited now.

They are modified Porsche axles. I'm going to send my pro axles to get inspected or rebuilt if needed.

Pro axles have a stronger CV joint. Why would you step down to a level 5?

They are only for the mean time while I send off my pro axles to get rebuilt.

Why do your pro axles need to be rebuilt?

The inner CV Allen screws keep getting loose. Also looked under my car one day and a bunch of grease was on the bottom of my car directly above the CV boot areas on both sides like splattered. Also the were clicking a while lot even after doing the whole DIY axles clicking thing.

These axle upgrades are like highway robbery. IMO makes keeping a jack and stock spare axles in the trunk a better option.

Since I couldnt find my invoice, he said " it sounds like we need to replace the inner part of the axles, since you don't have an invoice it going to be $400"
He did not specify if it was per axles or both. So don't lose your invoices people, they do come in handy. I on the other hand am learning that the hard way.
