Built to carry torque to the rear axle, the Dorman drive shaft 986-550 is a rear 2-piece steel driveshaft assembly and a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2017 Ford F-150. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine and configuration details.

This Dorman OE Solutions drive shaft arrives ready to go in, with the shaft, yokes, CV joints and U-joints already assembled and balanced as one unit.

  • Ready to install: Arrives fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced for a fast, hassle-free installation on the specified makes, models and years.
  • Premium shaft: Made from drawn over mandrel (DOM) seamless steel tubing. Dorman says this tubing offers superior concentricity, uniform wall thickness, and more torsional strength and dent resistance than standard welded steel.
  • All-new construction: Made in the USA with 100% new tubing, yokes, CV joints and U-joints.
  • Protective packaging: Ships in foam-in-place packaging that helps keep the assembly in install-ready condition during transit.

If your 2015-2017 Ford F-150 drive shaft is the source of driveline vibration, clunking or U-joint noise, this assembly replaces the shaft, yokes, CV joints and U-joints in one unit. Diagnose the cause before replacing, because other driveline components can produce similar symptoms.
