Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Axle Shaft P/N:630-015
Replace only the failed shaft, not the entire front differential, with the Dorman OE FIX Drive Axle Shaft 630-011. This front drive axle shaft is a direct replacement for certain 4WD 2012-2018 Ram 1500 and 2019-2022 Ram 1500 Classic pickups. The factory axle shaft is not sold as an individual part, so the usual options are a complete new front differential assembly or a salvage-yard shaft. This OE FIX shaft installs in place of the failed one and is engineered to help restore function to the truck's front differential.
Clunking or grinding from the front axle, vibration, or front wheels that don't drive when 4WD is engaged are signs a front drive axle shaft may need replacing. Diagnose the cause first, because other driveline components can produce similar symptoms. For engine details and the complete application list, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
