Driveshaft question...... September 26, 2009, 04:55:22 PM I got a replacement drive shaft at the boneyard and while I was installing the u-joints,that vibration ring (?) on the drive shaft yoke came off.Will that cause any issues with the drive shaft or it's balance? Quote Selected

Driveshaft question...... Reply #8 – October 19, 2009, 01:31:45 AM I picked up an Aluminum Aerostar shaft and I was quoted...I think $60-70 for the balance, and another $60-70 for the shortening, but up here there are only about three shops within a reasonable distance (1-200 miles) that can/will do it.

I have no clue on the pricing though. I thought Aerostar shafts were a little too long for Mustangs but too short for Thunderbirds/Cougars? Quote Selected
Driveshaft question...... Reply #11 – October 19, 2009, 11:55:00 AM what should the length on a t-bird shaft be? AOD/7.5 and c4/8.8 if it would make much of a difference Quote Selected

Driveshaft question...... Reply #13 – October 20, 2009, 12:43:52 AM Well, I've got a v6/C-5 with a 7.5" rearend, and my stock shaft measures about 50", and the 1995 Aerostar shaft(Welded, probably out of a 2wd model) measured about 55" or so. Quote Selected
Driveshaft question...... Reply #14 – October 20, 2009, 08:44:47 PM Good to know - I should look for one too then. I've got 1" more to play with than aod's, having a transmission with a 1" longer bellhousing. I really need to get out to some yards/cars soon as I'm bored to death with everything basically working as it should. Quote Selected
