Dorman 946-215 Rear 1-Piece Steel Driveshaft Assembly OE FIX for Select Nissan Models

The Dorman 946-215 is a rear 1-piece steel driveshaft assembly engineered as an OE FIX upgrade for select Nissan models. Factory driveshafts on these vehicles use permanently staked universal joints that make future servicing difficult and time-consuming. This Dorman replacement redesigns the assembly with serviceable U-joints, eliminating that headache for technicians and DIYers alike.

Delivered fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced at optimal road speed, this driveshaft is ready to install straight out of the box. Dorman uses a single custom-crafted balance weight for each individual shaft—rather than off-the-shelf weights—to minimize vibration and reduce the risk of comebacks after installation.

Key Features:

• OE FIX Design: Replaces non-serviceable, permanently staked U-joints with serviceable universal joints for easier future maintenance
• 100% All-New Construction: Built entirely from new components—not remanufactured—so there is no core charge or return hassle
• Pre-Balanced & Ready to Install: Dynamically balanced at road speed using a bespoke balance weight crafted for each individual shaft
• Nylon-Coated Slip Yoke: Slip yoke is coated with a nylon-based lubricant from the factory for reduced friction and quiet operation
• Keyed Phasing: When specific phasing is required, the shaft is keyed to ensure correct installation orientation
• Protective Packaging: Ships in heavy-duty corrugated cardboard with custom expanding-foam dunnage to protect balance integrity during transit
• Direct Replacement: Designed to match OE dimensions for a dependable, accurate fit

The Dorman 946-215 is a straightforward, professional-grade solution for replacing a worn or damaged rear driveshaft, offering an improved design over the original equipment it replaces.
