Driveshaft Shop Chromoly 1 Piece Replacement Shaft
This is our 1-piece driveshaft conversion for the BMW E36 platform. The
shaft is 3" x .083" DOM tube with billet aluminum plates to convert the
small bolt pattern on the factory transmission and differential flanges
to use larger 1310 u-joints. This shaft weighs 25lbs and since we are
removing the hanger bearing, it will make the car seem more athletic and
give it a smoother power transfer. We would have liked to offer an
aluminum version, but for strength it would have to be 3.5" aluminum
which is too large in diameter to fit without a clearance issue. Unlike
other aftermarket shafts for BMW's this shaft features a slider system
that will let the shaft move in and out during racing and chassis flex.
This shaft is now being balanced on our new 9500RPM balancer to ensure a
perfectly balanced shaft. Comes complete with precision machined front
and rear conversion plates and all necessary hardware for installation.
Note: The E36 M3 uses either a 4-bolt or 6-bolt rear differential flange.
