Just installed Shaftmasters alum. driveshaft
Very pleased with quality. Some things they include were a surprise. New bolts with locktite. A socket to tighten the bolts. A tap to clean the threads out if necessary. It was a simple pain free install. Took about an hour. Nothing extra was needed. I did alot of research on the various DS out there. Shaftmasters alum. DS was equal to the rest but better price( $599 shipped). most of the others are over $700. Took it down the road, silky smooth. I would highly recommend.

(my ‘06 Crown Vic had a factory one piece aluminum driveshaft, but that’s probably comparing apples to oranges)

Thanks for the info. I may consider one in the future. I have some type of drivetrain noise that seems to come from the middle of the car when you are driving it. I was wondering if it was coming from the two piece driveshaft.

After more research time than is like to admit. I narrowed it down the Shaftmasters or PST. PST is local to me and they would measure and make it custom to those exact measurements. They also said they'd install it for free and service it for life. PST for those that don't know is like the DSS and uses a cv. However it DOES NOT use an adapter like DSS. And yes they test it up to 9k rpms just like DSS too. If you want/need a cv, this is the one to do IMO.
BUT the Shaftmasters also has phenomenal CS and I'd rather install it myself anyway plus save the $2-300.
So when the time comes SM it will be.

Each company has it's reasons. SM says the cv is where noises come from which is why they don't use it. PST says the cv makes it smoother.
