Dorman - OE Solutions Drive Shaft P/N:986-986
Send engine torque back to the rear axle with this Dorman drive shaft, part number 986-997, a rear 2-piece steel driveshaft assembly built as a direct-fit replacement for the 1992-1997 Lexus SC400. It arrives fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced, so it is ready to install out of the box.
This Dorman OE Solutions drive shaft replaces the complete rear driveshaft as one unit. It carries torque from the transmission to the rear differential. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
Signs a driveshaft may need replacing include vibration that grows with road speed, a clunk when shifting into drive or reverse, and squeaking or clicking from worn joints. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since other components can produce similar symptoms. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether the originals may be reused.
