Eliminate highway speed driveshaft vibration, eliminate clunking U-joints, and restore smooth power transfer with our precision-balanced replacement drive shafts.
The propeller shaft (driveshaft) is the rotating steel tube that transfers rotational torque from the transmission output shaft to the rear differential or front axle on RWD and 4WD vehicles. Worn Cardan universal joints, corroded slip-yoke splines, or cracked center support bearing mounts allow the shaft to vibrate at highway speeds. Our replacement driveshafts are machine-balanced and feature Spicer-style greaseable U-joints, heavy-duty slip yokes, and precision-machined flange yokes.

Read common questions about U-joint clunking at launch, driveshaft vibration RPM ranges, center bearing replacement, and fitment.
A loud clunk when engaging a gear is the classic symptom of severely worn universal joints. Needle rollers fall out of their caps, creating loose rotational play before shaft engagement catches.
Driveshaft imbalance vibration typically peaks between 45 and 75 mph. Balance weights can shear off with rust or collision impacts, causing the shaft to vibrate at specific resonant highway speeds.
The center carrier bearing supports the mid-point of a two-piece driveshaft to prevent whipping deflection at high rotational speeds. A worn bearing creates a harsh grinding or droning vibration felt underfoot.
Yes. Two-piece driveshaft sections must be installed in-phase (yokes aligned in the same plane). Incorrect phasing creates a 2nd-order vibration that no amount of dynamic balancing can correct.
Our replacement driveshafts are pre-balanced at the factory. However, if any modification or welding is performed, professional on-car driveshaft balancing is recommended for best results.
