Driveshaft Question, need help for drag/daily

[frontierguy25]

First off I have searched and read multiple threads. But I didn't really hear any answer for my situation.

I drive my car daily for now(will be getting a new vehicle soon) and I drag race. I have a Weld/MT setup, so I plan on using it. My carrier bearing has gone out, and wanted to know if I should just replace it or get a nice 1 piece steel driveshaft. I don't want to get an aluminum one, because I don't want it to brake when launching.

Thanks

if your that worried about breaking a 1-piece driveshaft, then get a shaftmasters 2 piece.

it has a new front section to shave the weight, a NEW carrier bearing, and a oem rear section that they rebalance as a whole.

you need to call them about the 2 piece cause you have to send in a core for the rear section.

Thanks! I was only worried about breaking a 1 piece aluminum, because I drag race a lot. I was wanting to get a steel drive shaft.

You can get a one piece steel drive shaft.

I have the Shaftmaster two piece and I love it, but it's way more expensive than the one piece. I don't know how strong the one piece aluminum ones are, but the one piece steel should be fine.

Here's the one that Aaron sells.

Do you have Steel driveshafts in stock now or they have to be preorderd ? and what power can these driveshafts handle or hold up, before breaking.

I got my steel 1pc driveshaft from Jawsgear over 2 years ago and have been enjoying it ever since

i got my jaws DS through aaron at DM, and i talked to jaws directly, and lets just say i'll never buy from them again. I couldnt go over 90mph in my n/a with the 1-piece steel DS i bought from them...

And with the one i got, i had to get new hardware because the mounting flange was thicker, which was never mentioned...

Just installed a Shaftmasters AL 1pc last night, very happy with it thus far. No vibes (took it up to about 100mph), actually fixed the vibes I was getting with a bad carrier bearing.

I plan on doing a decent amount of drag racing so I'll keep you posted...

 

[lintlars]

I have used an AL DS ended up bending it I did some occasional drag racing 6x maybe went back to the factory 2 peice now I have a 350$ paper weight I was pushing maybe 500HP 12.1@124 mph

I got the 1st single piece aluminum DS from Shaftmasters...Piratetip got the 1st one for the R-154. Read the reviews here:

Quality piece...NO vibrations at all...I'm sure a steel single piece will be to the same standard.

Would you mind refreshing my memory...........:icon_bigg

Toyota in their infinite wisdom used a two piece for a reason. It would have been far cheaper to use a one piece (half as many U-joints, no center bearing), so I think I'll stand behind the engineers on this one...

 

[suprahero]

gotcha.

So what do you have now?

I'm looking for one or a replacement asap!
