Finding An Aluminum Driveshaft Reply #31 – July 31, 2012, 12:49:22 AM I got lucky when I found mine. I was getting parts for my daughters car and there was a police crown vic next to it. I started looking at it and laying in the trunk was the driveshaft. It even has police stamped on it. I still have to get it shortend and balanced and get it on there. Probably next year when I get the rearend rebuilt. Quote Selected

Finding An Aluminum Driveshaft Reply #33 – July 31, 2012, 09:18:39 AM Just remember, the larger OD drive shaft may have interference problems with other things under the car especially if it is lowered. I have the FRPP aluminum DS in my Coupe and it rubs on the ebrake cables under hard cornering and acceleration. I am pretty sure a 4" will be fine in most cases but its something to think about and pretty easy to mock up on and existing DS.Darren Quote Selected

Finding An Aluminum Driveshaft Reply #38 – July 31, 2012, 08:46:12 PM My driveshaft would've rubbed the lers, but I was swapping them anyway, so, no big deal. It was an item to watch for. I have the stainless dynomax lers installed away from the shaft. Quote Selected

Finding An Aluminum Driveshaft Reply #41 – August 01, 2012, 06:02:46 PM Does your shaft flare out at the ends, or is it pretty much the same diameter down its whole length? Quote Selected

Finding An Aluminum Driveshaft Reply #44 – August 02, 2012, 11:17:00 AM Good. That's the one you want then. If it's straight all the way, it's a 4" shaft. Quote Selected
