Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:986-986
Dorman 986-539 rear drive shaft for the 2011-2015 Audi Q7 carries drive torque toward the rear axle. This Dorman OE Solutions drive shaft is a rear 2-piece steel assembly designed to match original equipment performance.
Vibration that builds with speed or a clunk when you accelerate or let off the throttle can mean a drive shaft is worn, and a shop can inspect the joints for play. Before you replace the drive shaft, rule out unbalanced tires, worn rear-axle parts and other driveline components as the source.
It fits the 2011-2015 Audi Q7, which takes one.
