Custom
Hot Rod Shafts

Our custom made driveshaft costs are based on the materials that go into them. PST Driveshafts can range from $350 up to $1,500 depending on the strength and materials. You’ll find our circle-track steel shafts on the low end of that price range, and our carbon fiber drag racing shafts on the top end. Recently, the cost of steel has been skyrocketing, with the price of commodity steel more than tripling since 2020. So in many cases we’ll suggest that you consider an aluminum shaft because the cost to benefit ratio has really shifted towards aluminum in the past few months. Additionally, there is the price of the u-joints, slip yokes, and flanges. Many times these are included in the price of the shaft, but if you are interested in upgrading your parts (to Spicer U-Joints or Neapco Performance U-Joints for example) there is an additional charge. Ask your salesperson and he can assist you.

Right now, for our custom build driveshafts we are running with a 7-10 day lead time until the driveshaft leaves our facility. If you need a RUSH job, then ask your salesperson. For steel and aluminum driveshafts, we can usually accommodate rush jobs in 24-48 hours. We have even been known in the past to hand-deliver emergency driveshafts directly to our racers on race day. For Carbon Fibre driveshafts, expect to add another 24-48 hours to the lead times mentioned above.

We recommend that you don’t use carbon fiber driveshafts in street cars (if you’re cruising or using it as a daily driver). The heat produced by prolonged street usage can cause the bonds in the carbon fiber driveshaft to break down. The following activities are also not recommended with carbon fiber shafts: pedalling, tire shake, and wheel hop.

Yes. You can use your slip yoke for your driveshaft. If you have a Strange or Mark Williams slip yoke, then you just need to tell us what type of yoke you have and you don’t need to send your yoke in to us. If you have another type of slip yoke like a Sonnax or a stock yoke, then you will have to send in your slip yoke to us so that we can properly balance your driveshaft.

For steel driveshafts, they come in black. For aluminum driveshafts, they come unpainted, so they will look silver. Some of our customers will polish their aluminum driveshafts to a really beautiful shine that look great in their show cars. For carbon fiber driveshafts, they will come in black and you will be able to see the black and dark grey weave pattern.
