Send engine torque cleanly to the rear axle with the Dorman - OE Solutions Rear Drive Shaft, part number 976-849. It goes in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2017 Ford F-150, spinning the driveline so power keeps reaching the rear differential.
- Rear driveline: serves as the rear drive shaft on the listed application, transmitting rotational torque from the transmission (or transfer case) to the rear axle differential.
- Direct-fit replacement: engineered to drop in on the listed Ford F-150 applications in place of a worn or damaged original shaft.
- Signs it may need replacing: driveline vibration that grows with speed, clunking on acceleration or when shifting, and shudder felt through the floor — if a failing rear drive shaft is the cause, this replaces it.
A drive shaft that develops worn joints, imbalance, or damage can send vibration and noise through the driveline. Diagnose the source of the symptom before replacing, since driveline vibration can also come from joints, mounts, or tires.
