Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:986-986
Dorman 986-348 rear drive shaft for the 2016-2019 Cadillac CTS carries engine torque from the transmission to the rear axle. This Dorman drive shaft is a two-piece steel assembly that comes with its universal joints.
Vibration at highway speed, a clunk when shifting or accelerating, or visible damage to the shaft can mean the drive shaft or its joints are worn. The same signs can come from wheels, tires or other driveline parts, so find the cause before replacing the shaft; a shop can check the joints and balance on a lift.
This rear drive shaft is a direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2019 Cadillac CTS, which takes one; this listing is a single shaft.
