how much to have d.s extended

outlander · Jan 24, 2006

Need to have a front driveshaft extended so I can use it in the rear.If it's too much I'll just go with a tom woods shaft.How much can I expect to spend on having a d.s extended at a driveline shop?It's 6.00pm here and all the shops are closed,otherwise I would call and find out myself......
Thanks.

For me it's 80-90 to have it cut and balanced. Still cheaper than a new shaft.

cut and balanced is not extending it though.

How good of condition is the shaft in? It's usually worth paying the money for a new shaft if you can afford it, just to not have it be worn out in six weeks.

I had mine extended, balanced and rebuilt w/Spicer u-joints for $130.

ok that seems feasible....alot cheaper than 300.00 for a custom shaft!!

That was my point. Besides, why do you need it extended? Why not get a proper front shaft to put in the rear. I just picked one up at the bone yard for $15. You might even be able to get a later model one at a parts house for around the same as having it extended.

I have a 5 speed so it's not a direct bolt in like on an auto...not to mention a 5.5" lift.

The proper term would be "re-tubed and balanced",cost me $80.
