HOW DO YOU KNOW IF U HAVE AN ALUMINUM DRIVESHAFT??? I HAVE A 85 Z, BUT DRIVESHAFT IS RUSTED, DOES THAT MEAN ITS STEEL???

 

you do NOT have an aluminum driveshaft. aluminum does not rust. oxidize yes, rust no.

 

thanks for the help njitiroc

 

no problem

 

this is my old steel one.

 

so what would be the best aluminum one to get, thats not buying retail....an LS1 driveshaft? or one that came out of a 3rd gen???

 

Ls1

 

If you're looking for the 1LE variety, try Saul's Espana Auto & Truck Salvage (10009 Airline in Houston). The telephone # is as follows: 281 999 0000. I saw one there over Christmas in a rack at the rear of the shop. I was told that drive shafts go for $45 to $50. The part # is on the tail of the shaft 10085375. They also had a 3.27 nine-bolt for $250.
