You’re not incorrect about hitting something and potentially ruining the carbon DS, but I’ve never heard of anyone actually doing it.It’s heading to a driveshaft shop to be inspected. I’m going to see what shape it’s in and then go from there. They said they would inspect it for no charge and it’d take about a hour of shop time to regrease, balance and do whatever else they need. The shop happens to have aluminum gt500 driveshafts from spicer available as well. He recommended that I don’t use a CF shaft and get an aluminum one instead.
I still kind of want a CF driveshaft. His reasoning was that a CF shaft is will be ruined if something hits it while driving and an aluminum one would be fine.
Look at it like this, Ford put a carbon fiber DS in the 13-14 GT500 from the factory. If they didn’t think it was an issue then the odds are probably incredibly small.
