Aluminum Driveshaft? - 07/23/22 12:00 AM
Who makes a good aluminum driveshaft, at a reasonable price, and not take 6 months to get?
Thanks.
Jeff

I presently have an aluminum from Inland Empire and while they hit the mark on the Mirada shaft, I suspect the one in the Duster “ain’t quite right”….. I “believe” Mark Williams has the equipment to spin balance them at a higher rpm.

high rpm balance on any drive shaft is a must, in my opinion, regardless of the material made of.

Shipping would probably be a deal killer, but if it helps at all here are two local companies that do good work.

I went through drive shaft hell, Mark Williams has the correct ballance machine to spin it to the correct RPM, I had a Strange shaft & fought a vibration, also 2 other ones built locally to me, turns out they can only spin it 500 rpm, got one from MW & problem solved, $1400 dollars worth of JUNK drive shafts, GRRRRRRRR

During the winter, they built a 5" aluminum, about 6 feet long for my truck for $700 something. Maybe they went up, or perhaps they use better more expensive yokes in a race car.

Over the winter I got an aluminum shaft from PST out of Fl. Took 5 days to get, I had to source a yoke sperately due to supply chain issues. If I got a Strange or Mark Williams yoke they could balance it without it. I went with Mark Williams. The shaft cost $700? 3.5 “ the yoke was not cheap.

I had Strange make me a moly shaft..........I had to send them the Mark Williams slip yoke for the 904 so they could balance it.

Stay away from Dynotech. The guy is a goof ball and doesn't answer the phone. I had an issue with them.
I used this place quality shafts.

I've had Dynotech make 2 for me, one for my Charger and another last year for the Fury. Both were nice pieces. Have had other friends happy with the Driveshaft Shop and Mark Williams though.

Mark Williams, about 15 years ago, still in great shape...

Martin spring and driveshaft here in Kalamazoo. They have done all of my stuff forever, and do all the stuff for local racers in this area.
I have had them get stuff done in a single day before. And they high speed balance driveshafts when they make them.

I had a dynotech aluminum drive shaft years ago and it started to develop a bulge near the front yoke after 20 or more runs so be careful if this shaft is for a drag car with slicks with some decent power. Moly is cheaper and stronger when used with a smaller diameter.
