1990 GTU Driveshaft Recommendations
I am going to need to replace my driveshaft due to failing u-joints (probably caused, in part, by the transmission mounts I need to replace). I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with the shafts from www.wholesaleimportparts.com?

These are a bit less expensive than the mazdatrix, and they still boast replaceable u-joints, but I don't want to install garbage parts trying to save a few dollars. Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

roudy,
Several years ago, I replaced the driveshaft on my FC. It was a stock N/A coupe. If my memory serves correct, I went with an AL driveshaft from MazdaTrix. I wanted a slightly better (lighter) driveshaft. It was the best bang for my buck and perhaps slightly overkill considered my FC was bone stock. Removal of the old unit and installation of the new unit went well. Here is the thread with my original findings (had to search for it): https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generati...cement-753605/
If you are looking for an easy replacement with the best value then I highly recommend it (AL driveshaft). More than likely, you would not have to worry about U-joint replacement...unless you are pushing mad HP.
Cheers,
George
