Specific Notes for the C8 Corvette:
- The C8 axles reuse the factory inner differential stub flanges and bolt directly to our CV assemblies. The outer wheel hub on the C8 platform is 33 spline. Option to add New Inner Exotic Stubs
- We have seen these axles on record breaking car after record breaking car surviving hundreds of hits at the track, well north of 1000hp on the Z51 cars. Some of the customers we have seen pushing beyond the 1300hp range have started to find the limit of the factory Z51 inner differential stub shafts. We are currently working on stub shafts that will allow customers to retain the factory rear end, and hopefully continue to push limits without having to worry about the OEM stub shafts being the weak link.
2020+ C8 Corvette Exotic Alloy Inner Stubs; Pair; Z51 ONLY!
These inner stub shafts provide a significant strength increase over the factory stub shafts. They use a premium alloy, precision machining and heat treat for a perfect fit and finish for your C8 Corvette. These fit the Z51 and performance package Corvettes only.
Fitment
GForce axle shafts were manufactured based on OEM suspension. Aftermarket shocks, control arms, etc. may present clearance issues. If CV boots have clearance issues, low profile boots can be purchased at an upgraded cost. The low profile boots reduce the amount of available axle angle in comparison to the standard boots, so they are not ideal for lowered or high axle angle vehicles. This includes 2010-15 Camaro and all years of Mopar platforms. If you have questions or would like to add low profile boots to your axles, please contact us for more information.
Damage Prevention
NO DRIVELINE COMPONENT IS BOMBPROOF! GForce does not put a power rating on any driveline components as there are entirely too many variables that can affect a driveline component outside of power. We take great pride in trying to build the strongest driveline components to fit within certain applications, but it is important to know that You, the end customer, are responsible for seeing to proper installation and You, as the driver, are responsible for the lifespan of your axles or other driveline components.

Service
All driveline components will fatigue or wear over time depending on how the vehicle is driven and what level of performance is demanded from them. CV joints are a wear item and will see wear over time, but with our current design, axles can be sent in for service. So boots, fasteners, and CV assemblies can be serviced without scrapping the complete axle assembly. It is up to each customer to establish their own maintenance intervals based upin the manner in which their car is driven. Individual inner or outer splined stubs and axle bars can be replaced as well if they twist or are damaged due to wheel hop or simply from power levels exceeding capability of the material. Customers can reach out to GForce directly for current repair costs or component replacement as well as return authorizations for service – sales@gforce1320.com
