Understanding Muscle Car Driveshafts

You need your muscle car’s driveshaft or else you won't be going anywhere because it's responsible for transmitting rotational power from the engine/transmission to the wheels. In other words, you need your driveshaft to drive your muscle car because it uses the torque your engine produces to spin the wheels.

 

OEM driveshafts for muscle cars tend to come with a metal bar or two that resembles a pipe, u-joints, and a slip yoke. These parts are pretty standard for your average drivetrain but it's important to note that OEM drivetrains may not be able to handle the high torque needs of your dragster. Plus, some OEM two-piece driveshaft designs are clunkier and have more going on than aftermarket driveshafts due to the center bearing and slip joints being another area where things can fail.

Benefits of Upgrading Muscle Car Driveshafts

Plan on adding a ton of power to your muscle car? If so, aftermarket drivetrains are what you need. High-performance drivetrains from brands like Ford Performance offer single-piece alternatives to clunky two-piece driveshafts that are lighter, better equipped to handle torque, and even designed to accommodate lowering kits.

 

Plenty of options are also available with larger diameters that can accommodate massive amounts of torque without shattering. What's more, you'll find that some driveshafts require less energy to rotate, which improves fuel efficiency and improves handling due to less rotational inertia. Overall, the subtle changes you get when you install a racing driveshaft can be the difference between breaking your quarter-mile record or lagging behind on your next run.

Muscle Car Driveshaft Accessories

Getting an aftermarket driveshaft is a great start, sure, but if you don't upgrade the supporting cast, you’re leaving valuable performance and durability on the table. This is where muscle car driveshaft accessories come into play. These accessories tend to include driveshaft center support bearing carrier upgrades, better safety loops, and rear tunnel braces. If you plan on installing a racing driveshaft, installing these parts will support your new high-performance driveshaft and ensure that you can make use of all that power.

 

Whether you need a racing driveshaft to handle more than 1,000 ft.-lb. of torque, or you just need a durable replacement for your broken OEM driveshaft, we have everything you need to get back to enjoying your muscle car. Shop online today and our sales techs will help you pair the right muscle car driveshaft with the ideal accessories to help you maximize performance and durability.
