Default Performance Drive Shaft

I have a 97 camaro z28 I have around 500 hp and I have trouble finding a performance drive shaft cause I know my drive shaft is either unbalanced or bent. The car tends to shake Round 60 mph I have done the rims and the rear and my last option is my drive shaft. If anyone could help me out with this problem it would be great. Thanks alot

We have a lot of options on driveshafts, including new complete shafts from Strange and PST with several different slip yokes to choose from so it is correct for your application. the correct driveshaft is essential for smooth operation, especially with a aftermarket rearend in the car, but at the same time chances you must have the driveline angles setup correct or even a perfect balanced shaft will not prevent driveline vibes.

We at MCP have all the correct parts, knowledge, and experience to back it all up with any component under your car. feel free to call or pm us for more info or a quote. we have the best prices you will find on any driveline/suspension component for the f-body cars.

If you have any question please let me know, instead of getting you a new shaft I would like to discuss options with you to make sure that is your cure. Also keep in mind that if you plan on updating your rear end in the future the drive shaft lengths are different depending on what rear end you go with.

(309)-382-6252 and we can discuss options instead of just rushing into a purchase.

One of our customers spoke up well before we did. Maybe that's because they all know we sell them what they need and not just a link with no info looking for a quick sale when replacing a component may not be even what they need to take care of their real problem. That's fine though... you can deal with the mad customer that calls you back screaming because you sold them something to fix an issue and it never changed anything. Really sad you have saved that quote or spent the time digging for it just to throw a jab. Get over it... please.

lol but none make shafts, so technically the op could go wrong...

Like the last guy with a 1000hp rated shaft and a 150hp slip yoke.
