Keep torque flowing to the rear axle with the Dorman drive shaft 966-404, a rear 2-piece steel driveshaft assembly that arrives fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced.

If you are replacing a worn drive shaft on a 1996-2003 Chevrolet S10, 1996-2003 GMC Sonoma or 1998-2000 Isuzu Hombre, this Dorman OE Solutions drive shaft is built to simplify the job:

  • Ready to install: Ships fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced, set up for a quick, straightforward installation on the listed applications.
  • Premium shaft: Formed from drawn over mandrel (DOM) seamless steel tubing. This tubing offers superior concentricity, uniform wall thickness, and more torsional strength and dent resistance than standard welded steel.
  • All-new construction: Built in the USA using 100% new tubing, yokes, CV joints and U-joints.
  • Protective packaging: Foam-in-place packaging is designed to deliver the assembly in the same install-ready condition it had when it left the manufacturing facility.

A drive shaft may need replacing if you notice vibration that grows with road speed, a clunk when shifting into drive or reverse, or squeaking from a worn joint. Diagnose the driveline first. If the shaft is the cause, this assembly replaces it as one unit.
