I was wondering what kind of drive shaft they put on my 1LT. I have googled it but haven't found anything. I don't intend to drive excessive speeds but I am curious.

This sounds like an odd scenario. Are you sure about this? Speed limiting on modern cars is almost always based on the speed ratings on the factory tires, and no one should be limiting a car's speed due to faulty driveshafts. I think Ford is better than that - limiting speed due to a known faulty component is not good business. I think Ford would fix the driveshaft issues before just limiting a car's speed lower.

You had the V6 Mustang correct?
