[Supras] 1 piece driveshafts??

[millenia2000 at hotmail.com]

yes the sound becomes a problem but I never had any vibration problems 
beyond normal enhanced road feel of using a stiffened suspension. all I know 
is it was a noticeable difference in power transfer (installed it because 
U-joint in stock shaft was about to fall out)
