Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:936-959
Make future U-joint service simpler with this Dorman drive shaft, part number 936-902, a rear 2-piece steel driveshaft assembly from the Dorman OE FIX line. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications on the 2009-2012 Subaru Forester. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
The original drive shafts on specific vehicles have permanently staked universal joints, which makes them difficult to service. This Dorman OE Solutions drive shaft has serviceable U-joints instead, so maintenance is simpler.
A rear drive shaft carries torque to the rear differential. Signs it may need replacing include vibration that builds with speed, a clunk when shifting or accelerating, and squeaking or play at the U-joints. If the original drive shaft is the cause, this assembly replaces it. Diagnose the cause first, because other drivetrain parts can produce similar symptoms.
