Best Aluminum Driveshaft 11/12 Auto 5.0?

[ALLKHEINZ]

Any recomondations as to which driveshaft to go with that WONT VIBRATE? I had to try 3 on my 2011 GT last year before i just put the stock one back on....is their a built in vibration in the new Auto 5.0...I have now owned 2 Auto 5.0's one 11 and one 12 and both have had a slight 3-5% vibration that can be seen in the passenger side headrest at certain speeds.....not sure if anyone else has this same small vibration but my new auto is 100% stock.....im figuring going to a 1 piece will make it worse....anyone else notice this vibration in their auto 11/12 GT? did it get worse going to aluminum driveshaft?

I have a dynatech but I've got a manual. Easy install and zero issues.

Did you try a "drive shaft shop" driveshaft ?

Damn that sucks! did they have the CV joint on the front? i just ordered a carbon fiber one for my 12' GT. Now you got me paranoid

I have the small vibration you mentioned with the stock d/s. The dealer tried to rebalance the wheels/ tires but it's still there. I would be scared to try any aftermarket driveshaft unless they let me test it for free first lol

See if Ford will send the ds out to get rebalanced an have all 4 tires done too. Try an clear up everything.

I can live with the 3-5% small vibration....i dont want to have to but i can handle it....its preety much at the most id be willing to accept though....wheels are perfectly balanced...im just worried if going to a one piece will workout like my last experience did...im thinking a light weight 2 piece would prolly be the solution but guess that would mean keeping the hanger bearing and prolly not as strong as a 1 piece.....trying to do weight reduction mods and driveshaft is an easy weight reduction mod....im just wondering how many 11/12 Auto 5.0's out their have the same small vibration i do or if anyone with an auto and aluminum driveshaft can chime in if they have one that actually has worked out....
