Default What's The Story With This Driveshaft?

I came across this driveshaft that says it's aluminum and costs $69.99??? It doesn't look like a stock take off item and we all know there is no aluminum in the stock one anyway. Is the figure off by one decimal at $699.99? http://www.newtakeoff.com/index.asp?...mp;ProdID=8155

That's the stock two piece shaft. Have you never been under your car?

I can't believe that thing is only worth $69. Sad.

Sure I've seen the stock set up several times but the key here is it says aluminum which obviously isn't the case. Just a screw up on their part I guess.

Yep. That is the stock 2-pc shaft. It's certainly not aluminum. Just a screwup.
