What's up guys,

Which is the best driveshaft for the s197? But at a reasonable price

Thanks

 

Shaftmasters direct bolt in 3.5" is great. and $599.
mines been in for about a year now, no issues.
It weighs 19lbs.

 

I've had the Steeda on for 3 years now and it's been great with no issues ...

Thanks for the feedback I heard dynotech is abig good brand too... im going to buy the stage 1 heads soon then get this in the spring .. I wonder what I will run at the track the combo

 

Anybody out there heard anything good or bad about the Driveshaft Shop shaft? Looks to be a good one.

 

Coast HD for almost 3 yrs now and have had zero issues.

 

Powerhouse on mine for a couple years now with zero issues.

 

Hello mptant913,

You can also check out FRPP.

Thank you but I have an 08 mustang and i don't see a driveshaft under that link for my year

 

Heh, update that if/when the 2013 GT500 driveshaft gets in there!

Well hopefully its a bolt in part for the older S-197s :: fingers crossed :: and not to crazy expensive.

 

+1 on Powerhouse. Had mine on for 4 years so far and no problems.

 

You can always contact them at 1-800-367-3788 and ask them which ones are compatible with yours, mptant913.

Ok, bob! Make sure you keep that link.

Just make sure you have it installed by someone who knows what they're doing. My car is lowered, but the shop that installed mine didn't account for it. So they didn't relocate a bolt from the underbody and the first time I hit a decent bump: GRRRRRRIIIIIND. Now I've got a big ring around the DS and the shop I go to now points out that the walls of the piece are only 1/8" thick. I'm 1/16" in. Not good. I also get rubbing on the underside of the transmission tunnel (there is a hump) when I hit really big bumps or dips in the road. The shop should have hammered the transmission tunnel hump back a little bit. The shop I use now pointed all of this out to me and said they would have used the Steeda unit because it's tapered.

 

Why are you changing?

 

DSS or PST the only ones with a one piece shaft all the rest are two piece regardless of what they call them. That sliding joint is a problem waiting to happen and two universal joints require precise alignment. One CV joint solves the problems that appear frequently with two universal joints and splined slider.

 

I have the Shaftmasters on my car - been on for 4 years and over 100,000 miles with no problems.

 

+1 for Shaftmasters 3.5" with the adapter plate. It was a bear getting it on first time but now i know my car better than ever. YOU SHOULD KNOW this will result in more noise/vibration/harmonics because the stock shaft was designed to dampen out a lot of inherent flaws in the S197 body style. You get used to it, but just be prepared!

 

all one piece driveshafts will cause noose m vibration?

 

Performance reasons I mean basically what each product promotes ... weight reduction less rotating mass etc

 

How much did you lower your car? I have steeda sport springs.. prob me and my brother in law who is a mechanic will put this on.. do I need to adjust the pinion angle?
