Aluminum Driveshaft

Upgrade your 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO with the HINSON Motorsports Aluminum Driveshaft, a robust one-piece replacement for the factory's two-piece design. The original driveshaft's carrier bearing is a common failure point, resulting in vibrations, power loss, and reliability concerns. This lightweight aluminum driveshaft directly addresses these issues, promoting smoother shifts, enhanced throttle response, and increased horsepower delivery to the rear wheels. Engineered for significant power, this driveshaft is rated for 800HP, making it ideal for high-performance street applications with street tires. It is precision-engineered with a 0.120-inch thick aluminum wall for exceptional durability and has a critical speed rating of up to 160 mph or 7,800 rpm for smooth operation. The driveshaft features a dual-pattern differential flange, ensuring direct fitment for both automatic and manual transmissions. Installation is straightforward, as the driveshaft bolts directly to the factory rear pinion yoke. The only modification required is minor grinding of the rear seat belt bolts. The package includes a balanced driveshaft, 12.9-grade installation hardware, and thread locker for a secure and reliable assembly. Hinson Motorsports offers this driveshaft with either stock 26-spline or custom-built 31-spline shafts, with lead times varying based on the configuration.
