Description
When you're building a performance drivetrain, every rotating pound matters. Unlike static weight sitting in your trunk, rotating mass directly affects how quickly your engine can accelerate the drivetrain - and how responsive the car feels during quick shifts and throttle transitions. This custom aluminum driveshaft delivers significant weight savings over comparable steel units, reducing rotational mass while maintaining the strength needed for street and strip applications up to 650 horsepower.
The 3.5" aluminum tube construction provides the ideal balance of strength and weight reduction. Aluminum driveshafts commonly use this diameter with thicker walls to maintain rigidity while cutting mass, and the result is a shaft that handles serious power without the weight penalty of steel. The forged steel 31-spline slip yoke delivers maximum strength at the critical transmission connection point, while 1330 series U-joints provide reliable power transfer for sub-650 horsepower applications.
Beyond weight savings, aluminum offers practical advantages for vehicles driven in harsh conditions. Unlike steel, aluminum won't rust - making it ideal for cars driven in snow, rain, or salt-treated roads. Each driveshaft is custom-built to your exact specifications using our detailed measurement worksheet, and professional balancing eliminates the vibration issues common with OEM shafts.
Compatible with most rear-wheel-drive applications requiring custom driveshaft lengths up to 51". Perfect for engine swaps, transmission conversions, and performance builds where weight reduction and reliability are priorities. Made in the USA and backed by lifetime technical support from MDL.
