It arrives fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced, so you can restore driveline power transfer with a fast, hassle-free installation.
- Premium shaft: built from drawn over mandrel (DOM) seamless steel tubing for superior concentricity, uniform wall thickness, and greater torsional strength and dent resistance than standard welded steel.
- All-new construction: 100% new—not remanufactured—tubing, yokes, CV joints, and U-joints.
- Ready to install: ships fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced in protective foam-in-place packaging.
- Bolt-on design: both ends are the bolt-on type, and overall length is adjustable.
Specs: 2.5 in shaft diameter, 0.083 in wall thickness, and 55.375 in drive shaft length. This is a non-greaseable, standard-replacement assembly with CV joints included and no slip yoke. The axle nut is not included—consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused. Country of origin: United States. If a worn or damaged driveshaft is causing driveline vibration at speed, clunking on acceleration, or shudder, this assembly replaces it.
