Rear Drive Shaft for 1988-1998 Chevrolet K1500 & More - Dorman 976-023

Send engine torque to the rear axle with a Dorman drive shaft that arrives ready to install. The Dorman - OE Solutions 976-023 is a rear 1-piece steel driveshaft assembly and a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1988-1998 Chevrolet K1500, 1992-1999 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban and 1992-1999 GMC K1500 Suburban.

• Ready to install: Delivered fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced, and designed for a fast, straightforward installation on the listed applications.
• Premium shaft: Made from drawn over mandrel (DOM) seamless steel tubing, which provides superior concentricity and uniform wall thickness along with more torsional strength and dent resistance than standard welded steel.
• All-new construction: Built in the USA with all-new tubing, yokes and U-joints.
• Protective packaging: Ships in foam-in-place packaging, which is meant to deliver the assembly in the same install-ready condition it had when it left the facility.

As the rear axle moves with the suspension, the U-joints let the shaft change angle while it keeps turning. Signs a driveshaft may need replacing include vibration that builds with speed, a clunk when shifting into gear, and squeaking from a worn U-joint. If a worn original shaft is behind these symptoms, this Dorman OE Solutions drive shaft replaces it as one fully assembled unit.
