ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A driveshaft for a motor vehicle having a double tapered tubular body with its largest diameter near its midpoint and its least diameter adjacent its opposite ends. The body is substantially and continously tapered from the midpoint to each of the ends. The tapered section of the tubular body has its outer surface positioned near a surface defined by a parabola revolved about the longitudinal axis of the body. The parabola has its apex at the midpoint of the driveshaft and intersects two points on the longitudinal axis at approximately the mounting planes where the driveshaft is supported at its ends. In addition, a method of manufacturing the tapered tubular body of the driveshaft includes a mold having a tapered wall section and cylindrical shaped end sections to receive the cylindrical tube. The cylindrical tube is able to receive varying lengths of elastomeric plugs which can be sequentially compressed to deform the tube outwardly to abut the tapered wall section of the mold.
