Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:986-986
Carry driveline torque back to the rear axle with the Dorman drive shaft 986-145, a rear 2-piece steel driveshaft assembly that arrives ready to install. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2000-2004 Toyota Tundra; see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and application details.
The driveshaft transmits rotation from the transmission end of the driveline to the rear differential. Signs it may need replacing include vibration that builds with speed, a clunk when shifting into drive or reverse, squeaking or clicking from a worn U-joint, or visible damage to the tube. Diagnose the cause first. If a worn or damaged driveshaft is behind the symptom, this assembly replaces it.
