OEM vs One piece driveshaft?

[Itsjebby]

Hey everyone. Just wanted your guys opinion.

My carrier bearing and U joint on the stock driveshaft has failed at 60k miles. Should I get an OEM again for around $500 or go ahead and go aluminum one piece for around double?

let me k la your thoughts

Is your car N/A stock? Do you road course it? Do you drag race it? If you answered no to these questions, I would just go back with stock and save some cash. A one piece can create NVH. But, using a lighter DS your car will rev faster and might even pick up a few HP.

My car is pretty stock besides intake and exhaust and later down the road I can see maybe e85 and tune. I’m just worried another oem one will just fail again

Are you set on a particular brand of aluminum driveshaft? I currently have a Steeda 1 piece on my 2019 and fitment is great. Nice and smooth, no vibrations following the install. Note: There was a small issues that I had to work through, but it wasn’t that bad. you can read about it here:

I also ran a DSS 1 piece aluminum driveshaft in my 2013 GT and it was also very smooth.

Having had both brands, I can say that ai like the Steeda 1piece better (DSS shaft‘s pinion flange mount was different than the Steeda). I also like the fact that the Steeda shaft does away with the Guibo disc.

What brand is the Steeda one? Guessing they aren't building those

Okay awesome, thank you for the recommendations!

I’m pretty sure it’s made by Spicer. Maybe tj@Steeda can chime in and confirm this.

Likely, pretty sure that's what the paperwork said on my Ford Racing one as well

You sir, have a PM!

If you care about NVH - and daily drive/aren't heavily modified - go with stock.

If you intend on making more power down the line - don't care about some added NVH - go with aftermarket.

UH oh...


OP, I know @Cory S was running a stock (6R80 car) on his at 800+ wheel running low 9's. I think stock will be fine for you at the power level you are going to see.
