Where to get Drive shaft parts and or builder?

Chuck19 · Mar 21, 2016

I am about ready for shafts in my new buggy but I'm not sure who is the best company or person to contact so I'm asking the group for help?

The guys at Athens Driveline get out and wheel. Helluva a nice guy as well.

Carolina driveline does good work, and has good customer service and fair pricing.

X2. On the other hand if your like me and want to be stubborn and do everything yourself. I got some parts on eBay new and some from Denny's driveshaft parts. If your looking for balanced I'd definitely hit John up at Athens driveline.

We are a Spicer distributor and build off hiway drivelines so I get mine at work....but after meeting the Athens guys at the hardline ride, I'd use them if I ever lose my current connections.

Hudlow just outside of Chattanooga has always taken good care of me.

I get parts from http://northerndrivetrain.com/ if you're thinking of building your own.

X2 for Carolina. They did mine for my buggy and I couldn't make them myself (with new parts) for what they did them for shipped to my door. I would suggest getting the WOD or EOR style support bearing though if front is two piece.

I never had any issues with what Carolina had on there but it would have been the weak link for sure.

No doubt! I had a drive line vibration on my Excursion after I lifted it and brought it up to him, he pulled some measurements and took care of it. I've called up there with measurements as well. He's good ****.
