I've done some reading on the subject of swapping the 2 piece monaro prop for a 1 piece type. It appears the C/F or aluminium one from the the driveshaft shop in US get the best reviews.
I have a 04, 5.7vxr monaro so from what I've read would need the 04 GTO manual propshaft as the 05/06 (6.0) have a larger diff flange.
The reason for changing is that I swapped out the centre bearing when I first got the car and original prop was rusty, during prep for repaint I inadvertently knocked a balance weight off. I also noticed the U/J was a bit notchy too.
I think these have caused a slight vibration around 50/60 mph.
Well what's the consensus, get original rebalanced and repaired or go single?

I have a place local in hull that thinks they could balance/repair but if not they said a place in Leeds definitely could. My cars already had a few upgrades, running circa 477bhp.

Cheers for replays, going to pop it on ramp and have original one checked out first, if it's u/s found a spot jm-imports that can get a driveshaft shop single prop in 3-4 days, anyone used jm-imports?

JM-Imports are a big outfit and expanding, I'm sure they'll offer good service.
They certainly have some gear on their website, also just enquiring with LS performance regards a single DSS prop and trans mount cost.
Hinson single props are around 300 us/d cheaper than DSS, they can also supply a trans mount in same order - anybody running one?
