What is the main benefit of a 1-piece aluminum driveshaft over the stock unit?

A 1-piece aluminum driveshaft is typically lighter than a stock 2-piece steel shaft. This reduction in rotational mass can lead to improved acceleration and throttle response. The 1-piece design also removes the carrier bearing, simplifying the driveline.

Does this driveshaft come balanced and ready to install?

Yes, driveshafts from Driveshaft Shop are balanced at the factory to ensure smooth operation. It is designed as a direct replacement, but proper installation alignment is always recommended.

What other parts might be needed when installing this driveshaft?

While this is a direct replacement, it's always wise to inspect your differential and transmission mounts for wear. Ensure you have the necessary tools for removal and installation, and refer to the manufacturer's instructions for any specific torque specifications.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the drivetrain on your 2012-2020 Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, or Toyota GT86 with an automatic transmission, a stronger driveshaft can make a notable difference. This 1-piece aluminum driveshaft from Driveshaft Shop is designed to handle more power and reduce rotational mass compared to the stock setup.

Crafted from a 3-inch diameter aluminum tube, this driveshaft is lighter than its steel counterpart, which helps improve acceleration and overall responsiveness. The 1-piece design eliminates the carrier bearing found in some factory 2-piece shafts, simplifying the driveline and reducing potential points of failure. Driveshaft Shop is well-known for its robust driveline components, and this unit is built to withstand the demands of modified vehicles. It's a solid option if you're pushing more power than stock or simply want a more direct feel from your drivetrain.

This driveshaft is a direct replacement for automatic transmission models. It's important to ensure you have the correct transmission type when ordering. While this is a 1-piece design, it's always a good idea to check your vehicle's existing setup to confirm compatibility and understand the installation process. Proper alignment and balancing are crucial for any driveshaft installation to ensure smooth operation and longevity.
