The Detroit Speed ZR12 Rear Half Shaft Axles deliver modern strength and reliability for performance-oriented C2 and C3 Corvette builds. Designed specifically for use with Detroit Speed’s DECAlink™ rear suspension and ZR12 IRS Differential, these CV axles eliminate the limitations of factory U-joint half shafts.

Ideal for street-driven Pro Touring builds and high-output applications up to 800 horsepower, they provide smooth articulation, improved durability, and consistent power delivery under load.

ENGINEERED FOR STRENGTH & RELIABILITY

Factory Corvette half shafts place suspension loads through U-joints that were never designed for modern horsepower. Detroit Speed replaces this outdated architecture with a contemporary CV design, dramatically improving strength and long-term durability.

The result is smoother operation throughout suspension travel, improved torque transfer, and reduced driveline stress. Built to handle up to 800 horsepower, these half shafts offer the ideal balance of performance capacity and refinement for serious street and performance builds.

BOLT-IN CONVENIENCE

Engineered for seamless compatibility with Detroit Speed DECAlink™ and ZR12-equipped Corvettes, these half shafts install directly without modification.
