About Fast Shafts: The roots of Fast Shafts stem back to over 30 years ago when Pat Fagen started an axle repair business. It wasn’t long before he realized the demand for a reliable driveshaft builder.

Fast Shafts is the result of many years spent testing, innovating and building driveshafts for street vehicles and the motorsports community. Headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, Fast Shafts is a premier manufacturer of performance driveshafts that supplies race teams and motorsport distributors throughout the United States.

With over 35 years of on-track testing experience, each staff member at Fast Shafts understands the expectations of our customer base. We pride ourselves on measuring down to 1/16″ on every driveshaft build. All of our driveshafts are precisely fabricated using quality products and balanced using high-end machinery.

Our complete product offering and services include driveshaft repair, new driveshafts, center sections for Ford 9″ rear ends, transmission slip yokes, rear end yokes, ring and pinions, bearings, spools, shim kits, and more.
