Dorman - OE Solutions CV Intermediate Shaft P/N:630-461
Repair a failed front differential without buying the whole assembly with the Dorman - OE Solutions CV Intermediate Shaft 630-446, the right front outer intermediate axle shaft. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2012-2020 RAM 1500 and the 2019-2021 RAM 1500 Classic — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full engine-level fitment.
On certain 4WD Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic pickups, the right front intermediate CV shaft is prone to spline failure — this often happens when the CV axle slides past its retaining ring and the intermediate shaft splines are ruined soon after. Because the OE intermediate shaft is not sold separately, the factory-only fix is a complete new front differential or a salvage-yard part. This OE FIX shaft replaces the failed CV shaft to help restore function to the truck's front differential.
