Default Carbon Fiber Driveshaft

Made by PST, Inc

The finest driveshaft available anywhere. Each shaft is specifically designed by our Engineering Department to optimize the characteristics of Carbon Fiber required in your special application.

Our newest "Critical Link" Carbon Fiber Driveshaft for Drag Racing application is 3 3/4" diameter, A 50" shaft weighs only 6LBS - with 1350 series solid U-Joints add 3LBS and Slip Yoke add approx 2 1/2LBS.

All tube yokes are built from forgings specifically designed by PST for our carbon fiber applications. This carbon fiber driveshaft is a perfect answer to Long, High RPM applications such as Pro-Stock Trucks and can be engineered for any amount of Horse Power. Years of use by many Pro Stock and Pro Mod teams have demonstrated the reliability of our carbon shafts.




I'm thinking a new drive shaft may be necessary in the very near future. This one looks pretty good huh!!

I have heard that CF driveshafts do not carry a long life with street driving.

Probably not. I am actually looking at the heat treated aluminum model they have. It's more for street and strip with a pretty high hp rating. I have a steel driveshaft on my truck now and it's time to change.

website is www.pstds.com
