A local shop Matt you can get there maybe they will have it in stock.
most of the time the new drive shaft comes with the universal joints .
wont ford replace your drive shaft due to failure of u joints if bent or damage ????

I took it to the dealer thay said it was covered until they opend the hood and ford wants $500 for the shaft I'm gonna call roush on monday. I'm sure I'll end up getting a better shaft and U-Joints

this is what I made for $150 and they work great. I installed them when I was planning a gear swap to reduce axel wrap, but they are real handy now with the SC.

2 Questions...

1.) How do traction bars help you to keep from breaking your driveshaft?

2.) Who has the best prices on traction bars?


Reason is, when I get my new 07 truck in, I will be putting a whipple or Roush blower on it and dont want to hve to worry about breaking the drive shaft! It will be around 400rwhp.

Wow.. can't believe roush is covering that.

Traction bars will help keep the pinion angle straight. If the pinion angle get rotated up too much, 400+ ft lbs of torque is more than enough to snap the things that aren't lined up.

So installing a Roush SC kit warranties the rest of your drivetrain due to abusing it on a drag strip? Wow.

Makes you wonder how much profit they're making on these things on the front end to be able to do that.

Great news!

Now, the obvious question: Will they only replace the parts with the same stock components? Could you work a deal for "equivalent value" to use the items of your choice?

Regardless, it's great that you're going to get fixed!
