Driveshaft and center support bearing vibration

BillW · 12-15-2009, 03:57 AM

I ended up purchasing an aluminum 1 piece driveshaft from shaftmasters.

CRE, I thought hard about what you said but ended up with going with an AL one piece, because I figured my stock 7mge would not put much load on it, and it seemed neat to have a driveshaft from AL. I know, dumb selection criteria. One reasons I went with AL because it was the only stock one I found listed on shaftmaster's website and I needed it by the weekend. I called shaftmasters around noon today to see when it was going to ship, and they told me that it was "almost out of the shop", as if they just made it, so I guess I could have gone with steel and still got it on time. I should have asked. Oh well, live and learn. I'll try to let you know how it turns out. Thanks for you input. I really appreciated it.

Whatever you like. Let us know how you like it.

Oh, and if the stock bolts which connect it to the diff are a little short GET LONGER ONES! It's come up before.
