i want to get aluminum driveshaft, but will it be worth it, i get some vibrations above 80-90, and thinkig it is driveshaft, does a new driveshaft comes with new u-joints, and yoke? does it help performance wise?
i have quit a few performance parts, and if i am rolling like 1 km..and use it won't spin? i don't no why.i gotta touch the break and dead sto for it to light up the tires, i don't no what is wrong..

I also had some vibrations up at the higher end speeds. I went with the aluminum driveshaft and it helped a lot.
The FRPP shaft comes complete, ready to bolt right in. Make sure and check how much clearance you have under the car with the stock shaft...muffler clearance, pipes, etc. The aluminum shaft takes up a little more room. I had to move my mufflers over a little to get extra clearance.
Very good item to have under the car. Very strong, lightweight, and smooth.

If you are getting it solely for performance purposes, then you will be disappointed. It will however make you Mustang a lot more pleasurable to drive.

I would have the wheel balance checked, first.

I also had a nasty vibration at about 80...but i didnt have the cash for an AL driveshaft so i had the old one retubed with new ujoints and balanced all for 100 bucks....i didnt feel like the extra 180 for the AL was worth it for 2 hp and difucult fitment. just my .02
