Whose driveshaft is this??

I bought this from Top Level Motorsports. It's was advertised as being a Driveshaft shop unit.



What you see here is exactly what I received. It's a fairly nice unit and is pretty light. However, it's missing the adapter plate. Because of this the unit is and inch short of mating up to the rear differential. I ordered one from Driveshaft Shop, which arrived with zero issue, and to my dismay found out it does not mate up to the drive shaft.

Called Driveshaft Shop up, sent them a few pictures, and found out to my dismay that this isn't actually one of their units. Bummer really cause these guys are incredibly great to work with. They even offered to refund me on the adapter plate. I'm going to have to find an excuse to deal with them again.

But back on topic, I really want to know where this unit came from. I continue to try to contact Toplevel Performance, but am opening this up to the masses in hopes someone can help me identify the maker to get the needed part.

Thank you everyone in advance.

The only driveshaft I'm aware of AMS selling is Driveshaft Shop. If you look at their enlarged picture, you will see that it is in fact different from mine.

Well, no answer as of yet. To be honest though, I would like Top Level to pop on and clear this up, as they are the ones who sold me this mystery driveshaft.

We appreciate you calling the shop, and we're happy to answer any questions you have if you call again. (631.414.7449).

As mentioned, the driveshaft is from AWD performance and is a pull. You have everything required for installing this to your car. There is NO adapter plate needed. This is a direct bolt on driveshaft.


If you still have concerns, call again and we'll put you on with one of the EVO mechanics. I have no quams at all with helping anybody, especially a customer. We don't want you to be unhappy, so give us a ring, please!

Good luck man. Guess it's a good thing you didn't mail that out to me to "test" out :P
