2015–Up Dodge Challenger One-Piece Aluminum Driveshaft

Upgrade your Challenger’s driveline with this 4" x .125" wall one-piece aluminum driveshaft featuring 1350 series solid U-joints built for lifetime reliability. This lightweight performance shaft replaces the factory two-piece steel driveshaft with Rzeppa-style CV joints, delivering a stronger, smoother, and more efficient connection between your transmission and differential — perfect for high-horsepower street or track applications.

Key Benefits

• Direct Bolt-In Fitment: Installs using factory hardware — no modifications or adapters required.

• Replaces Weak Two-Piece Steel Shaft: Eliminates the factory Rzeppa (high-speed CV) joints that commonly fail under load.

• Improved Performance: Reduces rotating mass for faster acceleration and smoother power transfer.

• High-Strength Construction: Precision-balanced 4" diameter, .125" wall 6061-T6 aluminum tubing for maximum rigidity and minimal weight.

• Lifetime 1350 Solid U-Joints: Maintenance-free and built to handle extreme torque and power levels.

Fitment

• 2015–Present Dodge Challenger RWD models, including:

  • R/T

  • Scat Pack

Installation Notes

Customer must measure from the flange face on the transmission to the flange face on the pinion to confirm proper length before ordering.

Important:
This application requires additional upgrades, including a rear cradle subframe bushing kit for proper alignment and support. It is the installer’s responsibility to verify that there is adequate clearance for the driveshaft to operate without interference.

Any issues related to clearance, exhaust contact, or rubbing will void warranty coverage.

Why It Matters

The factory two-piece steel driveshaft with CV joints was never designed for serious performance. This one-piece aluminum upgrade eliminates that weak link, reduces rotational weight, and sharpens throttle response — delivering a stronger, smoother, and more reliable driveline built to handle real power.
