[QUOTE="olgreydog7, post: 15537573, member: 65150"] No, you are just replacing parts and not finding the solution. A balanced steel shaft will not vibrate any more than an AL one. Also, don't get so pissed on forums when people offer advice. No where did you say that it was for vibrations in your OP. In fact, in my response that you said was sarcastic, I specifically asked why you wanted the AL shaft. I don't know you, I don't know your car, and I'm not a mind reader. If you want an AL shaft for no reason besides having an AL shaft, go buy one. But there really isn't a value in getting one unless the cost of u joints and having a shaft balanced has gone WAY up over the years. No one was being a dick. Well, maybe I am now, but at this point you asked for it. Yes. This is why engineers make the big bucks. Harmonic vibrations only set in at certain RPM. This is what makes balancing shafts difficult, because we often want/need few vibrations across a wide range of RPM. That can be caused by an imbalanced shaft, but it can also be caused by worn u joints that no longer support the shaft properly. If you could magnify a spinning shaft, you'd see it deflect and look similar to a jump rope. [/QUOTE]
