Strengthened Front CVD for XT8 Vintage Series

The XRAY 355481 XT8 CVD Universal Central Drive Shaft Front is manufactured for the XT8 platform and engineered to deliver consistent service. Produced from Hudy Spring Steel, it provides a solid mix of rigidity and reduced weight suited to vintage XT cars.

Proven Alloy Choice

Hudy Spring Steel is recognised among racers and hobbyists for its high fatigue resistance and predictable behaviour. These traits help the shaft keep pace with the stress of frequent use while remaining relatively light.

Precision Machining for Endurance

Thoughtful machining removes unnecessary bulk yet retains strength in critical sections, giving a reliable front driveline component that performs well under race and club conditions.
