Our 4" aluminum driveshafts will save you a good bit of weight over a steel shaft, while mainting very high strength ratings and critical speeds. Often used to replace 2-piece shafts with a 1-piece to get away from carrier bearing issues, or for applications that require extra strength and critical speeds.
A 4" Aluminum driveshaft is great for 3 main reasons:
1) Lighter than its steel counterpart. Less rotating mass is always a benefit.
2) Ability to make driveshafts up to 72" center line of u-joint to centerline of u-joint. Often used to replace a 2-piece shaft with a 1-piece driveshaft. Huge weight savings when replacing a 2-piece with a 4" aluminum 1-piece driveshaft.
3) 4"x.125" Aluminum driveshafts are very strong and have high critical speeds. The .125" wall thickness adds rigidity and strength over the thin .083" OEM wall thickness.
Made using drawn seamless 6061-T6 driveline specific aluminum tubing, Neapco Gold Series solid-cross u-joints, and your choice of transmission slip yoke. As always, our custom driveshafts are built to order and high-speed balanced.
