Default Driveshaft Recommendations???

So anyone can recommend a good DS, or where to get one..
I am not caring steel or alum.... dont matter right now..
since I know what my problem is...

also does anyone know what the size on a factory DS is??
Its length.....
I was measuring from middle to middle of the ujoint/bolts....
Mine is coming up short...
40.5"... and I am finding they should be 41.5".
so that means my shaft was 1" too short...
LOL
haha... not like that....

Call Automotive Drive Line aka... Front Wheel Drive Supply. They have been in the Driveshaft business since 1978.

They build the shaft in our Nova.

817-284-8187.

They are not sponsors here, but I do not know of any sponsors here building driveshafts or I would recommend them. If someone knows of a sponsor... post it up!

These guys are in Hurst. they are my go to driveshaft shop.

I have this one and love it. It is larger than my factory in diameter but also lighter and comes with a guarantee for 20 years I think.

I was planning on calling you later this afternoon.. Thanks for the input..
also that place was bishop... my buddy was not sure of the name either..
we went over there, and the guy had some other 4l60e's, but not the correct one that I needed for the camaro... ended up finding it for 35 dollars this time. some little tranny shop in duncanville....

So as you see, turns out my bent wobbling DS was the culprit....
Like you were saying, there has to be something causing this.
Bent shaft and too short. LOL

It's purdy too! My local exhaust shop was jealous of the material used. The only issues that I have with it is it barely clears through my driveshaft loop so it was a pain to install.
