Keep engine torque moving back to the rear axle with the Dorman drive shaft 936-709, a rear 2-piece steel driveshaft assembly from Dorman - OE Solutions. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications on the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and configuration details.
On specific vehicles, the original drive shafts use permanently staked universal joints, which are difficult to service. This Dorman OE FIX rear drive shaft makes the U-joints serviceable, so future maintenance is simpler.
- Serviceable U-joints: Instead of being permanently staked, the U-joints can be serviced for simpler maintenance.
- Ready to install: Ships pre-assembled and is balanced at the factory, designed for smooth operation from the first drive.
- All-new manufacturing: Made 100% new, so there is no core charge and nothing to return.
- Quality engineering: Designed in the United States and backed by Dorman's decades of automotive aftermarket experience.
A worn or damaged drive shaft may show up as vibration that increases with speed, a clunk when shifting into gear, or squeaking from the U-joints. Other driveline parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the problem before replacing parts. If the original drive shaft is the cause, this assembly replaces it.
