Our driveshafts have been designed with the highest quality standards in mind for maximum performance. We have manufactured and precision-balanced each shaft to allow your vehicle to transfer more power to the ground. This driveshaft is intended for high performance applications where vehicle performance and safety are top priorities.
Please note that you are converting from an OE two-piece driveshaft design to an aftermarket High-Performance one-piece design. With this change and other performance driveline & suspension components that need to be installed in tandem will impact overall NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) during certain operating conditions.
To minimize the effects of NVH we recommend you start by rotating the driveshaft 180 degrees and bolting your driveshaft into its new position. To find the optimal operating position you may need to make small adjustments and evaluate performance during this process. For more information on this refer to our Vibration Check list located in the support section of our website.
