    Broken drive shaft

    Jay, I appreciate your concern but if your traveling at those speeds I'd be equally as concerned with the failure of the two-piece shaft as well. I have seen many failures from carrier bearings on two-piece shafts. A safety loop is definitely in order for you or anyone going that fast. We are...

    Broken drive shaft

    We believe that this design will hold up with no problem, drjonez is close to us and has offered to test drive our two-piece design. It will be a couple of weeks before he has time to swap them over. We are trying to come up with a cost effective solution that won't send the price sky-high. I...

    Steel driveshafts can fatigue, become bent, twist and rust in-half. I retube many steel driveshafts every week because of these reasons. Here are a few things to consider for those of you that are so down on the use of aluminum driveshafts. Crown Victoria police cars all use aluminum driveshafts...

    If your driveshaft is running that close to your exhaust I wouldn't wait any longer to do something about it. I have had to retube many driveshafts, both steel and aluminum that were sawed in half because of them rubbing on exhaust clamps, emergency brake cables etc...

    For all the discussions about safety going on here I will say this. We have a local customer that is a performance shop. They are called Pande's Performance. They build mostly mustangs but I was just out there 2 days ago and they had a GTO and an RX-7 plus a couple stangs they were working on...

    We do not see how a 2 piece aluminum is possible. There are no aluminum stubs and you can't weld a steel stub into aluminum tubing. As far as an exchange program for 2 piece steel shafts we do not feel comfortable making people send in their existing shaft and then waiting for us to build a new...

    The driveshaft in this thread looks like it failed due to something rubbing against it thus compromising the tube.

    Ya Know, our company name usually only gets "giggled" at by teenage girls and older but just as immature women. We didn't expect it from someone who is supposed to be a professional and is an authorized vendor on this forum. You guys in California might throw "gay banter" back and forth as a way...

    Thanks it is good to know that they also make them in 1350 series along with the 1310 series that we already have in stock. The transmission yoke for us is not the hard part. It is the hanger bearing stub. As of now we don't know of a source other than a Toyota dealer to order a stub which is...

    I fail to see how by using a two-piece shaft that you eliminate the possibility of your vehicle pole vaulting. If the center u-joint breaks leaving the back of the rear shaft still connected to the differential and the rest of the rear shaft dragging on the ground how is it not going to pole...

    We have not priced steel yet but aluminum single piece shafts are $349.99 with Free UPS Ground to the continental US. Steel should be about $280-$300but like I say we haven't figured steel yet. Thanks, David

    Hi figgie, I am new to the Supra and the kind of power they deliver. Do they compare to the nissan 240SX with the RB 25 DET engine swap. Our customers who have installed aluminum one-piece shafts in these claim that turbo charged they are putting out over 500 hp...

    I am starting to have a very busy day with driveshaft repairs from local customers, but I wanted to respond quickly and not leave you hanging. Aluminum driveshafts can run at higher critical speeds than a steel shaft of the same diameter. I will put together approximate pricng on aluminum and...
