Drive Shaft shortening GTA

[mohara]

Can anybody recommend a machine shop located in the GTA that can shorten the drive shaft per FFR specs ?

I had my driveshaft shortened here in Newfoundland but found out after the fact that I could buy from FFR vendors much cheaper.

I was told by a local garage that it would cost upwards of $300 to have it shortened and that makes one from Breeze (for example) look pretty reasonable.

Down here its 140$ to get it done and they even do kind of à paint job on it

I had mine done at Drive Products here in Mississauga back about 8 years ago. at that time shorten, weld and balance was 105.00 plus 2 new U joints Installed were 23.00 each, I assume prices have gone up since, give them a call

Thanks for the tip, just called them, and they quoted me $160 including the U -joints. I guess I'll be using them !

Powerblock just posted a video how to.

Do a search for powerblock 2 minute tech how to shorten a driveshaft.

I may give it a shot before I pay for one from a vendor...

It cost me over seven hundred dollars to get the driveshaft shortened. Yes they painted it, new u-joints and balanced....but a lot more than buying!
