Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:986-986
Dorman 986-398 rear drive shaft for the 2007-2010 Dodge Ram 3500 carries driveline torque back to the rear axle. This Dorman drive shaft is a two-piece steel assembly with bolt-on ends.
Shaking at highway speed, a clunk when you shift or accelerate, or a squeak from the joints can mean the drive shaft or its joints are worn. Out-of-balance tires, a wheel problem or another driveline part can produce a similar vibration, so have a shop inspect the shaft and U-joints to find the cause before you replace it.
This drive shaft is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2010 Dodge Ram 3500.
