After replacing a couple of parts in my driveline, my driveshaft was on the ragged edge of being too short. I had about 3/8" of travel in and out of my trans with the slip yoke. The combination of a Quicktime bellhousing and a Strange pinion yoke shortened up my center to center distance by close to 1/2". So I sold my steel driveshaft and figured now was a good time to upgrade to aluminum. It's been a long time since I've bought a driveshaft, and I figured I would ask what companies are good to source from. I was looking at Denny's Driveshaft and PST so far, which are comparable in price. If anyone has recommendations, I'd appreciate it.

 

I bought a PST chromoly 3" shaft and I'm very happy with it. I know I'll never have to worry about it. Everything was exactly how I ordered it. If you're looking at making big power I wouldn't even glance at aluminum chromoly is superior

 

Only issue I've found with aluminum driveshafts are the size being a lot bigger than steel shafts and causing clearance issues.

Denny's would be the go-to IMO...IF you're set on aluminum.

 

I have purchased two now, one for each of my cars.

01 SS has a Strange steel 3"
99 Camaro has a PST aluminum 4"

Weight difference oh yeah the aluminum is lighter

Best DS would be carbon fiber.

 

Weight difference should be about 5.5#.

 

I ended up buying an aluminum PST shaft used from @5.7stroker on here. I'm likely never going over 1000 RWHP with this car, so it will work fine for my needs.
