    Full Torque One Piece Driveshaft

    Well, ive been chasing a vibration in my drivetrain and after replacing the engine mounts, trans mounts, guibo, csb, and rebuilt the diff, along with new diff bushings, and dont the subframe bushings, i am left with the driveshaft as my next thought for replacement

    As it turns out, a factory drivesaft is currently $2200 and a CF is similarly priced. I worry about the issues that a CF can have, so decided to stick with steel for $1100. There were a few options and i went with Full Torque because they were in stock and had free shipping. I dont have any knowledge about driveshafts beyond what a website says and they all swear theyve built winning racecars etc, so i took a chance

    First impression, it was wrapped well for shipping. Came with new hardware and its a very pretty piece. Appears to bolt from the trans to the diff, no more bushings to deal with. Once its finally not 10 degrees outside ill install it. But, figured id share it incase anyone else was looking for parts Click image for larger version

    Interesting option. This is an upgrade I want to do soon but I want greater weight loss vs the F80 driveshafts. Odd design with the cardian joints and a slip section instead of the stock CV. Can you weigh it?

    Curious to see if you have high speed vibration issues.

      That looks interesting. I wonder how it'll fit with M3's on the CMP Subframe bushings and SMG.

        Using the bathroom scale, it came out to 26.6 lbs.
        If i had to guess, id say they probably use those joints because they are in idaho and do more 4x4 stuff vs sports car stuff. But, i cant imagine they would want to put their name on something that sucks, so im hoping that i dont have vibration issues.
