Best thing is to try a used driveshaft on ebay. The cost of aluminum driveshafts has gone sky high. It used to cost $159 new, but now its more like $249 new.

Buy locally.

I took a tranny input and a length measurement to a local driveshaft shop for my brother and they made an aluminum driveshaft for $150 including new universals. I'm near Rochester, N.Y.

I had a new tube bent for my stocker...then it was Tig welded and balanced with new u joints...total was about 100 bucks. Honestly with the cost of aluminum these days i couldnt justify paying for an AL driveshaft thats only a little bit lighter than a well made/balanced stocker. just another option to consider

I found a web site that was offering it for $189.00 so I called summit Racing and they said they would do it for $188.00 plus $8.95 handling fee as they say they don't charge for shipping.

Click to expand...

Honestly the difference between the stocker and the aluminum one are SEVERAL pounds apart.

It really is hard to get a good deal on them anymore though. I too got mine when I heard in advance about the price hike for a nice $165 shipped.

Where did you find it for that price? We understand the summit part, but what about the original website?
