Aluminum Driveshaft

Well I got it back from being balanced and these guy said it was way out of wack... they put like 300 grams on the one end and like15 grams on the other.. but I have to say now my car has no vibrations compared to before.. I was doing 200kms today on the 403 and not a shake.. the steering wheel was smooth as glass.

Just thought I would inform some or you guys... as for horsepower gain.. I don't think so!! hahahaha but dyno day is right around the corner... hehehehee

The DS is worth some regaining lost torque, not HP.

As for balancing, it really does help... I wish I could get one...

I'm curious, how much did the balancing cost?

I doubt it'll show up on the dyno.

53 bucks ain't bad.

And no, I don't think it will show on the dyno either. It's on the track is where you may notice it...more so in your 60 fts.
