Driveshaft – Aluminum, 3.5″ OD, 1350 Series (Dodge | Challenger | 5.7L & 6.4L | 2015-19 | Manual | 2WD)

For Dodge Challenger owners (2015 - 2019) seeking a driveshaft upgrade that retains full OEM fitment, the 3.5A1350_2894-529-UDS is the purpose-built answer. 3.5" OD aluminum tubing, Series 1350 joint interfaces, and a precision dynamic balance provide a drop-in driveshaft that exceeds OEM weight and vibration specifications right out of the box.

Specifications -- 3.5A1350_2894-529-UDS

Vehicle Fitment Details

The 3.5A1350_2894-529-UDS is designed specifically for the 2015 - 2019 Dodge Challenger with Manual drivetrain. Before ordering, confirm that your vehicle's transmission output yoke and rear axle pinion yoke both specify Series 1350 U-joint geometry. Overall collapsed length is 70.25" -- verify against the existing shaft with the vehicle at ride height.

• Confirm year, model, and cab/bed or wheelbase against the product listing
• Check both yoke series before ordering to avoid mismatch
• Inspect carrier bearing and crossmember condition if the vehicle had previous vibration issues

Engineering & Balance

Aluminum driveshafts like the 3.5A1350_2894-529-UDS offer measurable benefits over steel replacements in street and light-performance applications. Reduced rotating weight decreases drivetrain inertia, improving acceleration response and reducing stress on transmission output and axle pinion bearings. The 3.5" OD OD provides ample torsional stiffness for the 1350 joint series torque rating, while maintaining the clearances required by the factory undercarriage.

• Lower unsprung rotational mass vs. steel OEM shaft
• Precision dynamic balance reduces NVH (noise, vibration, harshness)
• Corrosion-resistant surface -- no annual undercoating required
• Direct bolt-in: no transmission crossmember or tunnel modification

Installation Overview

Installing the 3.5A1350_2894-529-UDS requires standard hand tools and a floor jack. Support the rear axle independently before removing the factory shaft. Match-mark the rear yoke before removal so the new shaft can be phased identically. Torque all flange bolts or U-bolt nuts to the vehicle manufacturer's specification and re-check after the first 50 miles.
