What is the main benefit of a 1-piece driveshaft over a 2-piece design?

A 1-piece driveshaft eliminates the carrier bearing found in some 2-piece designs. This can simplify the driveline, reduce potential vibration points, and often results in a lighter component.

What material is this driveshaft made from and why is it important?

This driveshaft is made from aluminum. Aluminum is chosen for its lighter weight compared to steel, which helps reduce rotational mass in the driveline. This can contribute to improved throttle response and overall efficiency.

Does this driveshaft come with all the necessary hardware for installation?

This driveshaft is designed as a direct replacement and typically includes the U-joints. However, it's always recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions or contact us to confirm if any additional hardware, such as specific bolts or seals, is required for your vehicle.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to upgrade the rear driveshaft on your 2012-2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 with the 8-speed automatic transmission, this 1-piece aluminum shaft from Driveshaft Shop is a solid option. It's designed to handle the power and torque these performance SUVs put down, offering a more robust solution than the stock setup.

This driveshaft is constructed from a 4-inch diameter aluminum tube, which is lighter than steel and helps reduce rotational mass. The 1-piece design eliminates the carrier bearing found on some factory shafts, simplifying the driveline and potentially reducing vibration issues. Driveshaft Shop is known for building well-made components, and this rear shaft is no exception. It's built to be a direct replacement, meaning it should bolt up to your existing mounting points with the proper hardware.

When installing a new driveshaft, it's always a good idea to double-check your U-joint angles and ensure everything is properly balanced. This shaft is designed for the specific SRT8 Grand Cherokee models with the 8-speed transmission, so it's important to confirm your vehicle's configuration. If you're experiencing driveline vibrations or have upgraded your powertrain, this aluminum 1-piece shaft is a worthwhile consideration.
