Dorman 986-473 Rear 2-Piece Steel Driveshaft Assembly Made in USA

The Dorman 986-473 is a complete rear 2-piece steel driveshaft assembly engineered as a direct OE replacement. Built from high-precision, drawn over mandrel (DOM) seamless steel tubing, it delivers superior concentricity, uniform wall thickness, and greater torsional strength and dent resistance compared to standard welded steel shafts.

Key Features:

• Ready to Install: Arrives fully assembled and dynamically pre-balanced for a fast, hassle-free installation
• 100% New Construction: Includes all-new — not remanufactured — tubing, yokes, constant velocity (CV) joints, and universal joints (U-joints); no core charge required
• Dynamically Balanced: Balanced at optimal road speed using a single bespoke balance weight crafted for each individual shaft, minimizing vibration and reducing the risk of driveline comebacks
• Serviceable U-Joints: Non-staked universal joint design allows future U-joint replacement without replacing the entire assembly
• Lubricated Slip Yoke: Slip yoke coated with a nylon-based lubricant for reduced friction and quiet operation
• OE-Matched Dimensions: Engineered to exact original equipment specifications for a confirmed, reliable fit
• Made in USA: Assembled and tested at Dorman's domestic manufacturing facility
• Premium Packaging: Ships in protective foam-in-place packaging inside an extra-thick corrugated box to preserve balance and protect the shaft during transit

Driveshaft vibration after replacement is a leading cause of customer comebacks. Dorman eliminates that risk by dynamically balancing every shaft at road speed — a step many competitors skip. This steel prop shaft assembly is the straightforward, professional-grade solution for restoring smooth, reliable driveline performance.
