Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:986-986
Keep torque flowing from the transmission to the rear axle with the Dorman drive shaft 986-904, a rear 1-piece steel driveshaft assembly. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2022 Mazda MX-5 Miata. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine and trim details.
This premium driveshaft is designed to simplify the replacement job. It arrives as a complete assembly that is ready to install.
The driveshaft may need replacing if you notice vibration that builds with road speed, a clunk when shifting into gear, or squeaking from a worn joint. If the driveshaft is the cause, this assembly replaces the original rear shaft as a single unit. Diagnose the driveline first, because other parts can cause these symptoms.

What does a Dorman OE Solutions drive shaft do?
A driveshaft carries torque from the transmission to the rear differential. The 986-904 is a rear 1-piece steel driveshaft assembly that does this job on the listed applications.
What is the 986-904 shaft made of?
The shaft is made from drawn over mandrel (DOM) seamless steel tubing. It offers better concentricity, uniform wall thickness, and more torsional strength and dent resistance than standard welded steel.
Is the Dorman 986-904 ready to install out of the box?
Yes. It arrives fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced. Check the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners, torque values, and whether the original fasteners may be reused.
What are signs a driveshaft may need replacing?
Common signs are vibration that grows with road speed, a clunk when shifting into gear, or squeaking from a worn joint. Other parts can cause these symptoms, so diagnose the driveline before replacing the shaft.
