FORD PERFORMANCE ALUMINUM DRIVESHAFT M-4602-GA
Reduce driveline vibration while improving acceleration in your 1979-2004 Mustang with this Ford Performance aluminum driveshaft! Your factory driveshaft is constructed with heavy steel that can be a chore for your engine to rotate. Installing an aluminum driveshaft reduces rotational mass which increases acceleration because your engine is now using less power to rotate the driveshaft and making more power available to the rear wheels! Ford Performance utilizes heavy-duty U-joints and high-speed balances this driveshaft so most driveline vibrations are greatly reduced or eliminated after installation.
FORD PERFORMANCE QUALITY

Disclaimer – Driveshaft Hardware
The 1979-2004 Mustang factory driveshaft bolts are installed using a thread locker chemical and are NOT torque to yield. If reusing the factory bolts, clean the old thread locker material from the threads, and apply new blue thread locker before reinstalling the bolts or use new driveshaft bolts and apply blue thread locker to threads and torque to the factory specifications. New bolts can be found here: HDW-4602.
For 2005-2021 Ford Mustangs, it is recommended that you install new driveshaft to pinion flange bolts when removing the driveshaft. The driveshaft to pinion flange bolts are torque to yield and should be torqued to 41ft-lbs.
