Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:986-986
Dorman 986-761 rear drive shaft for the 1983-1986 Nissan 720 carries engine power from the transmission to the rear axle. It is a two-piece steel assembly.
A worn rear drive shaft can show up as vibration at speed, a clunk when you shift or accelerate, or noise from under the vehicle. A tired center support bearing, a loose transmission mount or a worn rear differential can cause similar signs, so find the cause before buying. The 1983-1986 Nissan 720 takes one, in the rear driveline.
This drive shaft is a direct-fit replacement for the 1983-1986 Nissan 720.
