Dorman 976-228 Rear Steel Driveshaft Assembly for Select Ford Models Drive Shaft - 2-Piece

The Dorman 976-228 is a complete rear 2-piece steel driveshaft assembly engineered as a direct OE replacement for select Ford F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks. Built entirely from new components with no remanufactured parts, this drive shaft arrives fully assembled and ready for installation—eliminating core charges, return hassles, and the need for bench assembly.

Key Features:

• 100% New Construction: Built with all-new yokes, steel tubing, constant velocity (CV) joints, and universal joints—no remanufactured parts used
• DOM Steel Tubing: Manufactured from drawn over mandrel (DOM) seamless steel tubing for superior concentricity, uniform wall thickness, and greater torsional strength and dent resistance versus standard welded steel
• Dynamically Pre-Balanced: Each shaft is dynamically balanced at optimal road speed using a custom-crafted balance weight, reducing driveshaft vibration and minimizing comeback risk
• Slip Yoke Lubrication: Slip yokes are factory-coated with a nylon-based lubricant for reduced friction, quieter operation, and smooth shaft-length variation
• 2-Piece Assembly: Matches the original OEM 2-piece driveshaft configuration for correct fit and function on applicable heavy-duty Ford Super Duty applications
• Made in the USA: Engineered and assembled in Dorman's US manufacturing facilities using CNC machines and robotic welders for exacting tolerances
• Premium Packaging: Ships in protective foam-in-place packaging inside extra-thick corrugated boxes to ensure the assembly arrives in install-ready condition
• No Core Charge: All-new build means no core return is required

The Dorman 976-228 rear driveshaft assembly is the straightforward, cost-effective solution for replacing a worn or damaged OEM drive shaft on qualifying Ford Super Duty trucks.
