I don't even know if they make an aluminum yoke.I dunno if SN95's have the same length, or even if they're aluminum. I do remember a member of this forum having a Crown Vic Police Interceptor drive shaft cut down and welded though... Quote Selected

Aluminum driveshaft???? Reply #6 – January 13, 2007, 08:00:31 PM you can go to a place that works on big rigs and say you have a driveshaft thats too long, they can cut it down, weld it up, and balance it. my dad did that for his B-Cadet car. (had a 55 chevy rear subframe with a 78 camaro front subframe. had to have a custom driveshaft. of course he used a standard steel shaft but im sure they could do aluminum. Quote Selected
