hey, i have a 98 a4. I always assumed it had a one peice driveshaft form looking at the tech database. I looked under my car when installing my b&b and it looks like it has a 2 piece driveshaft. Has anyone heard of this before? thanks

I think later models came with the single piece, but for awhile V6 F-bodies came stock with 2-piece driveshafts.<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/sac2165\" target=\"_blank\"> CAMAROS</a> -
All v6's come with the 2pc.
GM says it was due to vibrations which of course go against the nice quiet ride and handling a v6 Camaro is supposed to have [img]smile.gif[/img]
The 1 pc aluminum is great update. I have mine on order! :D1997 silver Camaro RS<br />|T-Type Powered|<br /><a href=\"http://www.kwfbody.com\" target=\"_blank\">Looking for a local F-Body club in K/W, Ontario, Canada?</a>Comment

according to Firebird GT, GM began putting one piece steel shafts into V6s. I would encourage you to look at the archived items. There is alot there and would help define your concerns if unsatisfactory.Comment

If you would read the Technical Database, you would find that GM started putting one-piece DS in V6 models in 1998.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com

I have a 98 and its has 2 peices40th Ann GTp 4doorComment

I think it was mid year 98. SO 98 cars could have a 1 or 2 piece. Anything prior 98 has 2 piece, anything after 98 has 1 piece. I think.Comment

I was looking at the GM parts fiche, and noticed that they show only the 2-pc for V6's, so I finaly slid under and checked. My '02 is 1-pc.2002 CAMARO \"RS\"<br /> 3800/M5/Y87Comment

I looked at the manufacturing date of my car and ir was made in september 97. This could be why i have the 2 piece. Would it be benificial at all to get an alluminum ds. Also are they hard to install? thanks2002 camaro SS 6 speed, black, with black leather: Whisper lid/filter<br /> 98 silver camaro v6 a4(sold)<br />few modsComment

Install is easy.
Going from 2 piece to 1 piece will help. ET drop of about .1-.2 second seems like what I've heard on here.
Aluminum 1pc is about .1 second compared to steel 1pc.\'98 A4 Camaro v6->v8 conversion, and STS kit next<br />v6: 13.6 Powerdyne, 13.2 150 shot, 13.8 120 shot, 14.3 85 shot, 15.7 stock<br />v8(na): 12.18@113, 392rwhp<br />Moderator on <a href=\"http://www.mtfba.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.mtfba.org</a> and <a href=\"http://www.frrax.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.frrax.com</a> (Road Race & Autocross)<br /><a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/johnduncan10\" target=\"_blank\">Car pics</a>, <a href=\"http://www.trscca.com\" target=\"_blank\">TN Region SCCA</a>Comment
