Drive shafts - aluminum or stock replacement
Had a bad vibration which seems to be drivetrain related. Not as noticeable now at lower rpms since the harmonic balancer, motor mounts, and "u" joints have been replaced. Guess at this point then next plan of action is to replace the drive shaft. Would like some input on whether to go with the aluminum or stock replacement.

Re: Drive shafts - aluminum or stock replacement
Could you just have your balanced since you already replaced the u-joints

Re: Drive shafts - aluminum or stock replacement
If you don't get it balanced, then I'd go aluminum...

Re: Drive shafts - aluminum or stock replacement
Aluminum unless cost is a factor right now. It maybe that you need u-joints in your OEM driveshaft
