An aluminum driveshaft needs to be beefier than that. We have equipment made of aluminum at work,if it's used as a structure or part of a structure it does fine. Any aluminum equipment that takes any kind of stress will eventually fail.(we use 3/16 in. thick stock.)Just my experience. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I agree. We used the aluminum because it was also helping with a drivetrain vibration problem. The company is making a new one with thicker and wider diameter tubing.
