Re: Aluminum Driveshaft?

I couldn't tell you which ones got the aluminum driveshaft, but ask the manufacturer or the seller what grade aluminum it's made from and you'll know the strength but typically all are made equal and around the same weight. Could differ. Good luck, hope someone who knows about 4th gens answers your question more efficiently.
