So I just go my dss ds in. I was reading that if the aluminum ds break it can really mess the under side of the car up. Unlike carbon fiber ds where they just shatter. I've heard of using a saftey loop that goes around the 1-piece, but i'm not sure what kinda of material i should use or is it really nessacary since i only plan on putting 350 to the wheels at max.

You can buy a universal from summit and bolt it in where the center support was on the stock DS. The odds of one failing are low enough for me not to be concerned.

What i did is took the 2 piece carrier bearing loop from the stock one, took it to a welding/muffler shop and said i need this made but in 1/4 inch steel. Cost about $10 for them to do.

I am just going to use a universal one from summit/jegs. I have to have it for NHRA cause I run slicks when I drag race.

I would not be to worried about breaking it either.
