Here is the actual driveshaft, it has a bill of materials tab that shows each part - https://www.danaaftermarket.com/spi...e-aluminum-driveshaft-for-the-ford®-mustang®-

The Dana replacemnt part#5022701 is discontinued, you have no choice but to get the Summit Sonnax.

Yup. I will be ordering it today and have it installed on the driveshaft this week.

When they install it, I’ll also have them put new U-Joints in and balance it as well.

Good decision, take pictures.

Got the Sonnax piece in a few days ago but just getting around to unboxing it and checking it out. Attached some pictures and it appears to be a really nice unit.

I’ll be headed to the drive shaft shop later this week to drop everything off.

Nice, looks very strong.

It’s been a few days since I last gave some updates. Took the driveshaft and the new flange / yoke up to a local and reputable drive line shop and had them replace the U-joints at both ends and balance it while it was there.

They did an exceptional job and even installed a u joint in the rear with a grease fitting. They told me it needed very little weight to get it balanced correctly.

I plan on dropping this in tomorrow and taking it for a test run.

Nice, you are good to go.

Hit up ARP for bolts if you haven't already. They're nicer than the factory ones and you won't have to swear at them so much.

Good morning from NJ. I'm about to replace my drive shaft in my 2005 Mustang convertible v6 manual trans. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good source for a new drive shaft? Thank you.

American Muscle has them. CJpony parts as well I believe.
