    Default I think my...

    I think my drive shaft is going out...what are my options as to performance drive shafts? I know my uncle shredded his stock LS1 drive shaft like a tin can and upgraded to something stronger. Is a stronger option available for LT1's? Is it as reliable? Where Can I get it?

    Lots of questions lol. :P

    What do you mean it's going out? Unbalanced? U-joints clunking? If you're afraid of the aluminum LS1 driveshaft, then the only option you really have is a custom.

    Driveshaft is going out?

    I know what you mean about the LS1 driveshaft though. I've seen some pictures of some pretty twisted ones.

    I'd replace the u-joints or rebalance it until you go to a 12 bolt (assuming that's the eventual plan) and get your new driveshaft then.
