If you’ve got a 2016 Camaro, you’re in for a treat with this new axle from DSS. They’ve really stepped up their game with the design, taking notes from the ZL1 axles but with a twist that makes it even better. You see, GM has made some solid improvements, and while they’ve got a reputation for sturdy drivetrains, this one’s got some serious upgrades that make it stand out.
The first thing you’ll notice is that the inner part of the axle isn’t bolted on like previous models. It’s a bit of a bummer for those of us who like to tinker, but the good news is that the overall strength is impressive. We’re talking about a design that’s more akin to what you’d find in a C7 Corvette or a CTS-V. The internal splines are beefier, and the CV joints are on par with some of the high-end sports cars out there, like Vipers and Lamborghinis. That’s a big deal if you’re pushing some serious power.
Now, let’s chat about the “anti-wheel hop” feature. It’s meant to help with traction in stock applications, but if you’re cranking up the horsepower, it can lead to uneven strength between the axles. DSS tackled this by going with a fixed outer CV design. This means you won’t have to worry about those plunging CV angles causing instability when you lower your ride. The fixed outer is made from Billet Chromoly, which is the same stuff that’s helping record-winning cars run smoothly. So, you know it’s tough.
Speaking of toughness, the axle bars are larger than what you’d find on the 5th gen, measuring in at about 1.170 inches. I’d venture to say these can handle up to 900 horsepower without breaking a sweat. The 300m bars come with rolled splines and ground centers, allowing for some twist without the risk of snapping. DSS has learned over the years that keeping the axle diameter consistent is key for high horsepower applications. When you address wheel hop at the source—like bushings and mounts—you’ll want axles that are equally strong.
Oh, and here’s a neat feature: this is the first Camaro to come with a bolt-on inner CV. The spline diameter is a solid 1.375 inches, and the material is tough enough that it might actually outlast the differential. DSS is stocking the GKN 116mm version of the inner CV, so you won’t have to shell out extra cash for that part. If something goes wrong down the line, they can always whip up a replacement, but honestly, it’s likely you’ll run into issues with the diff before this inner CV gives you any trouble.
So, there you have it—a fresh, robust axle from DSS specifically for the 2016-2020 Camaro. They’ve got driveshafts in the works too, so keep an eye out on their site. Everything’s ready to be assembled and shipped to you, especially if you’re ready to push past the limits of what the stock axle can handle.

What is the use of a 1000-horsepower vehicle if you cannot effectively transfer it to the wheels? HP is not the only thing professional builders look at when upgrading a vehicle's performance. Each component plays a critical role in making a car go fast, and the driveshaft is one of them.
The driveshaft is responsible for transferring your engine's power to the differential to your wheels. It is the reason why when you upgrade your engine, it is best if you also upgrade this component. And when it comes to the driveshaft, one name stands out, and that is The Driveshaft Shop.
How It All beganFor more than 40 years, The Driveshaft Shop (DSS) has designed and produced many driveshafts used in numerous record-setting race cars. It is the leader in high-quality aftermarket axles and driveshafts for high-power automotive racing applications. The Driveshaft Shop has a driveline solution for your modified vehicle from drag racing to drifting and offers high-performance one-piece driveshafts and heavy-duty axle shafts for several late-model performance applications.

Continuous ImprovementThe Driveshaft Shop continues to grow and research daily and strives to keep up with the ever-changing automotive industry. It is dedicated to producing racing driveshafts regardless of the many challenges involved.
It is because modern-day engines have much higher horsepower, torque, and RPM figures with more complicated suspension systems and better transmissions. In short, a good manufacturer needs to know a lot more today to produce the perfect quality driveshaft, and DSS is capable of and does just that!
