  • Stock steel driveshaft

    What's this I hear about stock steel driveshafts breaking? I know the 93-96's had a TSB which replaces with the 1LE to reduce vibration, but mine doesn't vibrate (and I've been in an LT1 car that has in the past). So, do I really need to replace the driveshaft? I did install the Lakewood driveshaft loop (two pieces, so I didn't need to remove driveshaft). The only thing I didn't like about this is it replaced the stock "bar" leaving the exhaust pipe exposed (I guess that's ok). Thanks.

    Not something I have seen many threads about.

      Ditto.... unless you have 500+HP you probably aren't going to have a problem with breaking the DS.
