After looking over the pictures, these look like nice driveshafts!! And the price isn't too bad either!!
WayOfLife, do you happen to know the weight for these, is it more or less than the stock shafts? The stock shafts look hollow and these are solid.
Thanks again for all the wonderful updates on availability of parts.

I think you may want to add some stipulations to that statement.
There a lot of solid components under a vehicle that are strong.
It's not the void that makes a tube stong, It's putting the metal where the forces act that make it strong.
You certainly get diminshing returns for the steel added inside the diameter. But it does not weaken the pipe.

As a mechanical engineer, I think what he meant to say is that, given two objects with the same cross sectional area, the hollow circular shape will be more resistant to bending than the solid circular shape.
You also need to consider whether you are looking at a constant, even load, or whether the load is uneven with impulse loads as well (like offroading).
If anyone is interested, we can discuss Moments of Inertia, stress concentration factors, and all the wonderful applications of Euler's work with Beams.

Thanks for clearing that up Phish. Two years into an engineering degree I decided I didn't like math enough to continue down that career path. So now I work on construction documents at an architect firm.
