Driveshaft Vibrations?

So my car has that infamous vibration after 85mph that i am pretty sure is the driveshaft. I am wondering where i can get the cheapest price for an aluminum driveshaft? also does it come with all the neccesary hardware or will i have to purchase more things in addition to the driveshaft, ie u-joints, etc... thanks for the help.
Dan

93' Camaro has a steel shaft and was prone to be unbalanced... I even believe there was a recall back in the day....

I bought a LPE 3.5 alum shaft for my '93 acouple of years ago... That took care of my vibration... I cost around 250, but they were depleting their inventory..... Check E-bay.... There should be some good sales for alum...

try www.billygrahamscamaro.com
you can pick up an aluminum LS1 driveshaft that should solve your vibe problems
not sure how much one would cost from them but they usually run in the $150 range used on most message boards
