This Canadian just got SHAFTED !

No more take off shudder.

I had to use the original flanges as Ford has them on back order ( I waited 4 months then they cancelled the order). I see Tom woods no longer has 5g shafts on his site as they cant get flanges either.

Update. After a summer and winter with this shaft I can say that critical speed failure has not occurred. I have reached speeds of 140km/hr and constantly cruised at at 125 km/hr for periods exceding 1/2 hr. This shaft is smaller than a Tom Woods shaft with 3.5" .083 tube and 1330 ujoints.
I definitely recommend a one piece shaft upgrade.

I’m thinking he found a local shop in British Columbia - getting stuff from the USA just about bankrupts us. ? Taxes, customs brokerage fees, duty, exchange, etc. If it costs $100 USD, it’s often double that in CAD by the time we receive it. So, when we find domestic suppliers for stuff like this, we jump for joy.

Know a lot of you been waiting for this, so here it is. Attached are pictures and details of work done.

Only drove it 35 miles. So far all highway vibrations gone, no more shutter at take off. Smooth all the way around! Drove it up to 90mph.

I’ll keep you posted once I start the work week on Monday and start driving back and forth to work every day.

I used the same parts as Vegas Ranger.

Custom Shafts should always come with a custom color.
Set that stick apart from the rest with matching blue.
