CARDONE Reman Drive Shaft P/N:65-1014
A1 CARDONE 65-8001 rear drive shaft for the 1999-2005 Mazda Miata is a remanufactured shaft that carries power to the rear differential.
A drive shaft, also called a prop shaft, can show wear as a vibration that builds with road speed or as visible play in a joint. Before you replace the shaft, rule out the tires, wheels and other driveline parts, because worn joints, poor joint lubrication, an unbalanced shaft or a bent or twisted shaft can cause similar vibration.
It fits the 1999-2005 Mazda Miata and the 1994-1997 Mazda Miata, and each takes one. It is built to match O.E. form, fit and function.
