A broken aluminum driveshaft?

/me ducks for cover...

 

You save 5 pounds of rotating mass.

 

By the way they do break pretty easy with axle wrap. I have read about 15 to 20 break posts on them. I even snapped one myself....

 

unwanted rotating mass can be bad, or something

 

MRBBQMAN,

Wheeeew eeeeee, I hope my driveshaft doesn't smell like that too!!

 

BBQ....that was 5 pounds, not 500 pounds, although that is a provocative pose in a sick sort of way. And you have to admit the bee-hive is a nice touch.

 

you have keen eye for the lens, my friend. this Fellini-ish pic, is known as "Dora's Beehive", one of my deep, dark favorites, or something

 

If I am not mistaken, that picture was taken shortly before Dora left the movie set in a huff after Fellini instructed one of his cameramen to "pan Dora's box". Not actually many people know that is where the phrase Pan Dora's Box came from................And now you know the rest of the story or something.

 

I've heard of one guy screwing up a U joint with the aluminum shaft too.

 

ok so how can i keep one from snapping?


also does anyone have the Ford Part #'s for this driveshaft?


Thanks for the replies thus far i appreciate it.

 

What's wrong with your current drive shaft??

No real gain there. Put $ somewhere else.
