Stock aluminum driveshaft.

[OVERKILL]

I have one out of a 2003 and the length seems right, but its out of a police car, so its got the big-ass U-joints. I know with my Mustang, in order to use the driveshaft out of the Aerostar, I had to use an adapter U-joint, that is big on one pair and smaller on the other, works mint, wondering if the same joint would work on mating the PI driveshaft to the factory yokes.........

It probably will, the D/S's and flanges are pretty much the same on most fords. There is a good chance though, that the stock steel shaft has the big pattern also.

Well, had the car on the hoist today and looks like it has the small U-joints, and the back one is baffed (slop) which is definitely driving me to replace the stupid thing, and while I'm at it, figure replacing the shaft with the sassy "POLICE" (written on the side) shaft!

Is there actually any seat of the pants increase going to a alum driveshaft on a stock box? I know it saves a few pounds but is it actually noticeable

[mrltd]

Yes, my pants don't vibrate as much.

HHAHAHAHHAHHA Exactly

Reduces vibration from rear-end gear changes. The aluminum driveshaft works as a damper, unlike the steel one

theres a bunch of thoes driveshafts at my work but they are all wrecked from the loader picking the cars up

I have found three different flanges used on the aluminum shafts. The huge PI and trailer tow versions. The other two take the same smaller u-joint but the bolt pattern is different on the flange. the flange can be swapped on the small ones.

Hmmm I shoulda got the one off the '87 P72 that they drove into the junkyard... $20. Dang it I kick myself for so many things I should have bought and didn't.

Sometimes with our old boxes "dont fix it unless its broken" comes into play
