cars with 2.73 gearing got the steel shaft, not aluminum.

bsmith, is right on the money. If you have the 2.73 gears (GU2) you have the STEEL driveshaft, if you have the performance axel package (GU5) you have an aluminum unit.

Look under the car at the driveshaft, is it rusted? if it is, it is the steel unit, if it is unrusted, it is the aluminum unit.

Hope this helps you out in some way.
