Ok I spent a good bit of time analyzing my findings after removing the new style halfshafts yesterday. I had 160 miles on the newly designed shafts and hubs. I can assure you these were pressed and installed correctly.
I created a video of my findings.
This is not intended to bash DSS. Hopefully this video can help find a solution to this problem.
I pulled the video. I think the issue is known well enough.

Man...it would of just been way cheaper and less down time just to buy a few stockers. Least you would not have so much drama and down time while every one else was having fun at the strip. Still, not sure if the stock IRS can handle actual SLICKS vs DOT tires.
Mechanical Failure isnt so bad after the 1st time....you get used to it .
