A one-piece aluminum driveshaft reduces the rotating drivetrain weight in S197 Mustangs

When Marlon Mitchell of Fly Ford Racing called us about this innovation, we had to see it. From the factory, ’05-’10 Mustangs are fitted with a 38-pound, two-piece steel driveshaft supported in the middle.
Only Ford driveline engineers know for sure why the Mustang is fitted with a two-piece driveshaft, but you can bet it is centered around reducing harmonics.
Ford wants you to enjoy a smooth ride.
