What are the Pros and cons ..Right now i have 930 cv on the rail.And need to buy a new one after this weekend.

might want to do a search on this one... was a VERY hot topic a couple months ago...

Put it this way, it wasn't in favor of High Angle Axles..

hope you own a welder.

Just thought I'd add to the mix and I hope this doesn't turn into a 10 page ordeal. The conclusion that I've come to is that they only work on smaller hp cars. I've got a 3.2 non-turbo Honda (about 225 hp) and haven't had any issues with my u-joint axles. Yes, I drive it hard and fast<----------------I'm talking about the car.

Low horsepower may indeed help with longevity, however, "High Angle U-Joints" just may be an oxymoron..

The higher the angle, the higher the stress on parts..

ahhhh ahhha ahhhhh Douchebag!!!!!! excuse me ......damn is it getting "Globally Warmer" in here?????

Click to view attachmentI guess I'll post this pic again, Dunn Tech, mid eng. LS1, 2d, works great!

It is not just the high HP guys that had problems.
I had probs and run a 3.2. There are a couple others with non v8's that had "issues".

Good luck. If you really want a set, PM me, I'll sell ya mine.

Holy #@%& here we go again. Be careful, I would replace the broken CV and be done with it.

This should get good....

I have never seen a "hotter" topic

I got a set for sale

I dont really care.... I just like to watch this topic BLOW UP everytime someone posts this subject!

Well, what the hell.....I have no real complaints. I did have a cracked side plate when I lost a main shaft bearing, but had no problems. That was after 2-1/2 years, with a blown small block Ford.

PRO= axle will never break

CON= car, tranny & hubs need to be replaced every three trips

I didn't reply to the last post because it got so heated but anyhow I have a pair and my buddy has a pair and we both like ours don't want to jinx it but so far things are fine I have had mine for over a year and buddy a year and a half. He has had a hub go out but we don't know for sure why otherwise I would have gone through about 3 or 4 cv's in this time and have not had any probs. knock on wood.

replace the cv with a high quality one and march on, i had them and im back with cvs , farmdog.

Look around...see any racers with them on?

CV's for me.

Will he be racing

My old car, Desert Dynamics, 091 trans and an aspirated Honda 3.2l...I ran high angles for two seasons with no problems at all. I loved them...

New car SCU, Mendi E and an aspirated 3.5 Honda...I'm going with cv's. I don't know that HA's are bad, but after all the reading about it, I'm not taking any chances.

I think i will be sticking with CV's

Just get some high quality CV's and you are in good shape.

Buck at Extreme is very proud of them...

I'll give you my axles!!! Oh wait Jesse told me to send them back to him and he would refund my money, now he has the axles and my money, that's good bussiness

You can't just put a new CV on and march on....check your max axle angle and make sure you aren't going past 23 degrees. If you keep it under that angle and keep some sort of grease in it and the sand out, it will last a lifetime....it is really that simple. Stay away from the U-joint axles....they are the reason they invented the CV in the first place...They didn't work in this application!

See Tom in EC

I have not had any problems with my extreme axles, but only time will tell.

I'm waiting for Jess to reply....

yeah.... that's gonna happen....

Theres a sucker born every minute.

Good reputation can take a while to build... A shiat reputation can happen overnight!

Looks like Jess is Blaming the failures on driver error and underbuilt cars from what he said in this thread.

Just watching this time.

Nothing to see hear ...move along

That is too funny that he moves from this site to another still talking the same stuff.

Didn't Xtreme do the same thing? They must have gone to the same school of B.S.

No doubt!!!!

if someone has a set with 930 flanges that they want to sell send me a pm

thanks

Do a search before you buy them..trust me!

my transaxle is made to take a side load and has ujoint yokes already...

I've got some for sale. PM sent.

Jess started that thread in Jan. of 2007

Every single person I know with 930 CV's on an LS1 car has broken them. I would say that would consitute "issues" with CV's. Plus u-joints have almost no maintenance.

Might want to introduce your friends to limit straps or a little thing called CV maintenance.

long as your side cases are not cast, and you have well braced and gusseted trailing arm mounts you'll be fine. The people ripping off tabs are always the inner mount and they are usually 1/8" plating, fine for cv's, not for slip shafts. I make all my suspension and shocks tabs out of 1/4" plate, and the tab also acts as a gusset connecting to a fair amount of tubing surface area....
