I had a Fidanza which turned out to be a cluster f****, glad I didn't pay for it. I replaced it with a Dynotech piece which is made 100% from Spicer driveline pieces. Extremely nice, fixed all my issues.

Sorry for your issues, but you weren't the first and won't be the last unfortunately! I had the Fidanza piece re-shafted and the vibration was better but never quite gone.

Just to update for everyone...

I installed the fixed drive shaft, the aluminum shaft was bent near the front of the shaft American Drive Shaft Service straightened/ re-welded and balanced it for under $70. Smooth as can be, I wish it was that good the first time I installed the DS.

Hope this info can help future buyers...

agreed......spyder has great DS's and he has always been open about using the ranger one and it was good for many to over 600 RWHP at least...

Yes and he doesn't use junk yard shafts to make his Drive Shafts, he gets his cores from Ford.
