and mazda never produced an aluminum driveshaft, if you happened across one of the aftermarket ones the easy telltale is: the shaft itself is generally about double the diameter of steel stock shafts to make up for the weaker materials, a magnet sticks to steel and not aluminum and the aluminum shaft is several pounds lighter. just about everything on an aluminum driveshaft looks much sturdier because it has to be, if that pictured shaft was aluminum it would eventually egg out the u-joint holes.
