Description
Replace your heavy factory steel driveshaft with this precision-engineered aluminum alternative that delivers real performance gains by reducing rotational mass. Aluminum construction significantly cuts weight - typically 10-20 pounds less than steel - which means less torque wasted spinning the driveshaft and more power transferred to the rear wheels. The reduced rotating mass improves throttle response and acceleration, particularly noticeable during quick shifts and spirited driving.
This custom aluminum driveshaft features a forged steel slip yoke with 28 splines for positive transmission engagement and a 1310 series U-joint at the pinion end. The 3.5" diameter aluminum tubing provides the optimal balance of strength and weight reduction while maintaining structural integrity under load. Aluminum construction also resists rust, making it an excellent choice for drivers in regions with harsh weather or road salt.
Every driveshaft is professionally high-speed balanced to eliminate vibrations that can plague factory units or poorly built aftermarket replacements. The precision manufacturing process ensures proper fit and reliable operation in your classic Mustang's drivetrain.
Compatible with 1965-1973 Ford Mustang models requiring a 50.25" center-to-center driveshaft length. This driveshaft requires measurements from your finished vehicle - submit the completed Driveshaft Build Sheet form to info@moderndriveline.com to begin your custom build. Made in the USA with professional-grade manufacturing standards.
