Steel Driveshafts Steel Driveshafts
  • Accepted by NHRA for all categories including Stock Eliminator.

Design Features

  • The 1026 drawn tubing we use is stronger, straighter, and rounder than the cold rolled tubing common in original equipment.
  • Computer-assisted design programs are used to predict critical speeds that determine allowable shaft lengths.
  • All shafts are "Purpose Built" using the best blend of components to meet the demands of each application.

Assembly Features

  • Each shaft is built on patented equipment that insures a proper centerline of rotation based on the shaft's universal joints.
  • This proper centerline alignment allows shaft run-out tolerances to one half or less of those required by Original Equipment Manufacturers.
  • Inland Empire Driveline's low run-out tolerance provides for greater accuracy in shaft balancing resulting in smoother running throughout all RPM ranges.

Sample Applications

  • Repairs and replacements of original shafts.
  • Shafts with replaceable u-joints for many imported cars.
  • Upgraded two-piece for '58 to '64 Chevy cars and '58 to '72 Chevy and GMC trucks.
  • MOPAR Specialties.
  • Light and medium trucks, motorhomes (shown top).
  • Heavy truck (diesel tractor shown center).
  • 4x4 light truck (shown bottom).
  • Racing shafts for all forms of land and marine competition.



Aluminum Driveshafts Aluminum Driveshafts
  • Accepted by NHRA for all Super categories, Competition Eliminator, and including Pro Stock.
  • Accepted by IHRA for competition in all categories.

Design Features

  • 6061-T6 aluminum forged weld yokes for strengthened grain structure.
  • Internal stress reduced by machine work done with the grain structure.
  • Custom drawn 6061-T6 D.O.M. aluminum tube for consistent strength.
  • State-of-the-art welding processes for improved reliability.

Testing

  • Inland Empire Driveline Service's products have passed Spicer® grueling dynamic reverse torsion fatigue testing requirement.
  • We are one of the very few Spicer® authorized aluminum drive shaft builders in the world.
  • Inland Empire Driveline Service also routinely makes proof tests in static torsion.

Composite Driveshafts
Composite Driveshafts

Design Features

  • ACPT wet filament wound carbon fiber with no metal substrate.
  • Longer unsupported spans than are possible with metal tubes.
  • Greater torque capacity than steel or aluminum tube.
  • Lower rotating weight transmits more of available power.
  • Smooth and stable from 0 to as high as 14,000 RPM.
  • Dramatically reduces torsional vibrations.

Safety Features

  • Absorbs vibrations that can destroy all metal shafts.
  • Torque tested through 3900 foot pounds.
  • Reduces damage to vehicle and driver by shredding itself in case of component failure.

Sample Installations

  • Dan Gurney's IMSA GTO champion '87 Toyota.
  • Heavy trucks: diesel tractor, refuse trucks, etc.
  • NHRA Pro-Stock trucks.
  • Automotive and heavy truck dynometers.
  • Late model dirt stock cars.
