When upgrading your driveline, your axles need to keep pace with your performance goals. Detroit Speed’s 31-Spline Axle Shafts are designed to deliver the strength and reliability that aggressive 4th Gen builds demand.
Ideal for high-output LS swaps, drag racing, or Pro Touring performance, these shafts are built to handle the torque and traction of modern power levels with Detroit Speed precision.

ENGINEERED FOR STRENGTH

Each 31-Spline Axle Shaft is forged from premium alloy steel, heat-treated, and machined to exact Detroit Speed standards. The result is a shaft that maintains structural integrity under heavy load while reducing flex and potential failure points. Compared to OEM axles, these provide significantly improved durability and torque capacity - essential for street and track-driven Camaros and Firebirds.

Detroit Speed designed these axles for easy integration with the FN988 torque arm housing and compatible rear-end assemblies. They retain factory dimensions and spline fitment for direct installation while offering superior material quality and performance.
