Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:986-986
Dorman 986-537 rear drive shaft for the 2016-2020 Cadillac CT6 carries drive torque from the transmission to the rear axle. This Dorman drive shaft is a 2-piece steel assembly.
Vibration at speed or a clunk when you accelerate or shift can mean a worn U-joint or an out-of-balance shaft. Wheels, tires and other driveline parts can cause vibration too, so have a shop inspect the driveline on a lift to find the cause before you replace this shaft.
This drive shaft is a direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2020 Cadillac CT6, which takes one at the rear. The listing is a single drive shaft.
