You expected a direct bolt in from an Aerostar driveshaft? Keep dreaming If that was true, there wouldn't be so many people buying these Ford Racing driveshafts for a ridiculous amount.

Man, they're only $159.00, that's cheap if you ask me. Ask the Camero boyz how much they're paying for driveshafts, that's riduculous.
