Description
Drop serious rotating weight from your classic Mustang's drivetrain with this precision-balanced aluminum driveshaft. Factory steel shafts are heavy, prone to rust, and force your engine to work harder with every revolution. Switching to aluminum typically saves 10 to 20 pounds of rotating mass - weight reduction that translates directly into improved throttle response, quicker acceleration, and less strain on your powertrain.
The 3.0" diameter aluminum tube is professionally balanced to eliminate the vibration issues common with worn or poorly balanced factory units. Because aluminum is lighter than steel, the shaft experiences lower residual imbalance at high RPM, improving stability and reducing the risk of resonance-related vibration. Unlike steel, aluminum won't rust - a key advantage for vehicles driven in harsh weather or stored in unheated garages.
The forged steel slip yoke features a 28-spline count for secure engagement with compatible transmission outputs. 1310 series U-joints are fitted at the front, with a 1310-16 U-joint at the pinion end. These proven joints handle continuous torque loads appropriate for street and moderate performance use.
This driveshaft is built to 50.25" center-to-center length for 1965-1973 Mustang applications. Because every swap is different, MDL requires accurate measurements from your finished vehicle before building. Submit the completed Driveshaft Build Sheet to info@moderndriveline.com to ensure proper fitment. Made in the USA with MDL's lifetime technical support.
