Last fall before i put my car away for the winter i had my 4.10's put in and i noticed a weird vibration around 110-120 mph (i let off after 120,so i'm not sure if it would have went away). I figured it was probably my bald rear tires, but i now know it's not the tires. I have brand new tires on the car and i still get the vibration around 110-120 mph. I'm pretty sure i've read some posts about people having the same issue with the gears and they have replaced driveshafts and that took care of the problem.

so, what driveshaft should i get? Steeda or Ford Racing? or any other better ones out there? they all seem to be just under $200 (price isn't a problem), i just want the best/lightest one out there.

I have the Ford one on my car. I think it's 8lbs lighter than stock and twice as strong. I don't really know about any other ones. I've been very pleased with mine though. I put mine on at the same time I changed to my 4.10.

If I'm not mistaking they are B/O from Ford at least that's what I heard from my Local Ford Racing shop here in London Ontario , me and 2 other friends order some two months ago and Ford did not ship them yet , the guy is telling me that some people put them on High HPs cars and broke them , this statement is not comming from me I'm just repeating what I was told ..

I'd like to have one too...

I got mine (FRPP) from www.stangstore.com for $159 but it was about a year ago. My vibration came from a bad u-joint but it was noticable past a certian RPM and not a given speed.
