Swapped Steel Driveshaft for Aluminum today
1 Attachment(s)
I know the opinions on the mild benefits, but I decided to go ahead anyhow, since I've already done many of the other more important mods... :icon_munching:
Here's a comparison pic below (I did some mild polishing on the aluminum)... Also, my 1 piece steel shaft is for sale! FS: '82-'02 Camaro/Firebird Steel OEM Drive Shaft - Camaro Forums - Chevy Camaro Enthusiast Forum Any of you still with a 2-piece shaft (93-97), upgrading to a 1-piece is a must do, and EASY JOB! |
I want a one peice. But im to cheap to buy one.

Heard that^

I just got one even though I already have a one piece, mainly because I don't like have a rusty old driveshaft in there. Haven't put it in yet though.

A rusty driveshaft isn't a problem, unless the rust is going all the way through -- unlikely on a '98...

The only benefit to changing to an aluminum one is if you run over somebody, they can say ooooooh, nice shiny driveshaft!
Your engine isn't going to feel the 4 lb. difference in spun weight, but your wallet will notice a big difference. |
