Just to add some information.

The Z28 uses the same diff case as the SS and 1LE.
The Z28 and the 1LE share the same transmission.
Not sure if the Z28 and 1LE share the exact same driveshaft set up/length.
I would think the driveshaft attachment joints would be the same since the SS/1LE and Z28 share the same transmission and diff case. I think it would just come down to proper driveshaft length and power rating.

"Thank you for contacting the Driveshaft Shop.

If so, then fits the QA1 also on the Z28.
Matty Ice's information is also in line with Jegs' fitment infos.

Nice. Now call qa1 and let them know so they can also be informed about their own product. Haha

How much does the OEM weigh?

Old thread but I finally got around to installing the QA1 driveshaft. It fits without any issues. I did an installation video here for anyone who is interested:

fantastic news, thank you for sharing. My shop told me my drive shaft is showing signs of wear/play and should be replaced. I'll consider this option
