    Any many light cars out there will never need DSS axles

    LOL... I think they have tiny splines so early levels are beefier small spline, then one level upgrades the spline size, like a neon going to a shadow knucle/hub

    So what is the consensus here on who makes the best OEM axles? Oreilly (MasterPro), Rock, Napa (seem to all be remanufactured), etc? Having a hard time deciding on which outlet to purchase from. Car is going to be a 2.2l, a555 built Omni (225–275 whp).

    So if I read the information correctly it is the shaft and not the cv joints that fail. The level 5 DSS stuff replaces the shafts that break with a moly one? IIRC you can also send the shafts to Moser and they will make you a set as well, not sure on turn around time though.

    The center ber/shaft can break, but the only two DSS axles known to break in our cars (kelly and mine) both broke next to the splines on the inner CV ends.

    DSS L3 will be good for most applications as they have the CM ends. The L5 adds the better 300M center bar, not needed unless decently over 400whp with a heavy car
