Why would I need two steel driveshafts on the same car?

Re: drive shaft

If I were to buy a steel DS; it would NOT be stock.... no way.

If your stock steel one doesn't vibrate, use it. If you want a cheap replacement that might solve a minor vibration issue; try a 1LE or LS1 shaft.

If you want to not risk anything and have a shaft that you don't have to worry about go with a Chromoly shaft like a Denny's NR shaft which is what I run.
