Send torque from the differential to the rear wheels with the DANA SPICER Rear Axle Shaft 2004449-1 (also written 20044491) — a Dana 44 shaft built for Non-Rubicon Jeep Wrangler models. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler and the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment.
This rear axle shaft carries the drive load out to the wheel hub, so a bent, splined-out, or cracked original leaves you with clicking, vibration, or wheel play. The upgrades to these Dana 44 shafts are made to handle larger tires and off-road use.
