Driveshaft issues

[bates0707]

I have a 2004 mazda b4000, I was rear ended a while back and my driveshaft is messed up. When go about 60 it starts to vibrate and continues till I hit almost 80, it was worse but my mechanic put a weight on it for the time being to offset it. My question is can I replace this drive shaft with a steel one even if it was aluminum one before? Any good websites that specializes in drive shafts? Thanks

As long as they both have the same style of flange (bolt on or slip yoke) at the respective ends, and the new one is the same length there is nothing preventing you from using a steel one.

Any driveshaft from 1998+ supercab would be fine. I got mine via local Craiglist advert. Compare size & pix here: http://imgur.com/a/BL7mz
