Product Description

The Driveshaft Shop 610296 is a 3.5" one-piece aluminum direct-fit CV driveshaft engineered specifically for the 2018-2026 Ford Mustang GT, 2021-2023 Mach 1, and 2024-2026 Dark Horse equipped with the 5.0L Coyote V8 and 10-speed automatic transmission. This direct-fit design eliminates the adapter plate at the rear end with a precision-ground CV joint that fits inside the factory pinion flange just like OEM -- shedding weight while increasing power holding ability and drivetrain response. Where the factory two-piece soft-rubber-mounted driveshaft flexes and bends under hard acceleration, this one-piece aluminum design delivers solid connections, perfect alignment, and predictable power transfer to the differential.

The driveshaft is rated to handle over 1000 horsepower, making it suitable for the most extreme Coyote-powered builds. Construction features 3" x 0.125" wall 6061 T-6 aluminum tubing, billet aluminum endcaps, 300M chromoly spline plugs, Spicer 1350 series solid U-joint, forged aluminum U-joint flange, and chromoly CV internals. Each driveshaft is dynamically balanced at over 9000 RPM at the Driveshaft Shop's CNC facility in Salisbury, North Carolina. Critical note: a Rear Subframe/Cradle Lock-Out kit must be installed prior to installation of this 1-piece driveshaft -- failure to properly reinforce the rear cradle and limit movement will void all warranty coverage from The Driveshaft Shop.
