GM driveshaft recall? hey people
i have a 98 Z28 that is clearly NOT an 1LE (checked the RPO codes)
i bought my car used, bone stock with low mileage
it was previouly a one owner car, driven by a 50-something year old lady
anyways, i looked under my car recently and for the 1st time i noticed it had an aluminum driveshaft
i asked a buddy of mine about it and he said GM did a recall on quite a few driveshafts, because they were out of balance, and a few got the 1LE DS's in that recall
so im basically just wondering if any of you ever even heard of this?

Re: GM driveshaft recall? i'll be damned
i learn something new everyday
i had no idea M6's came with em, thought only 1LE's had them
i guess the alum. DS was 1LE specific only prior to the LS1 years

Re: GM driveshaft recall? Actually, a friend had a 1992 Z-28 305TPI with aluminum rear drums and a 5 speed that had an aluminum driveshaft in it as well....and it was NOT a 1LE car. Only set of aluminum drums I ever saw (factory part #'s on them). So, I'm not sure wht the exceptions were and for what years....

Re: GM driveshaft recall? now thats weird
ive never heard of 3rd gens with the alum. DS, without rear discs
the aluminum drums sound familiar, i think i read sumthin about them on thirdgen.org before

Re: GM driveshaft recall? It was a strange car and an anniversary car as well (not the full graphics package...just the badges, etc). It was loaded (except leather). With the aluminum drums, you didn't have to use the factory rear wheel spacers (1/8th inch I think). It was an oddball....only ever seen that one.
