Default Rs500

Looking for a bit of help. Before Keisler bit it I ordered and received an RS500. Now that I am ready to install it, I will need to get a driveshaft made. What yoke will I need for it?

Thanks Phil,

I sent them an email right before posting. Figured I'd do both since I'm not sure if they had any plans to work with the RS500.

You'll need a 31 spline slip yoke that uses a 1310 u-joint and a 2.5" diameter shaft. Rear u-joint should be 1310 as well. Length will be determined by your measurements as outlined in the instructions.

Or, call us and we can process your driveshaft order. You'll need to speak with Ben at 865.609.8187.

I want to thank Silver Sport for making a bad experience with Keisler a little easier to deal with. I called Ben DeHaven last Friday with the measurements needed to make a driveshaft for the RS 500 I am installing. I received it on Wednesday and got it in the car last night. Considering that Keisler advised of a 2 week lead time just to make a driveshaft, it was a big surprise to get this done in less than a week.
