REAR DRIVESHAFT

This Dorman 976-108 Rear Driveshaft Assembly is a direct replacement for original equipment, designed to restore proper driveline function. It is constructed from drawn over mandrel (DOM) seamless steel tubing for durability and features a corrosion-resistant finish, ensuring a long service life. The assembly comes fully assembled, dynamically pre-balanced, and ready for installation, simplifying the replacement process.

Key technical specifications include a driveshaft length of 46.875 inches, a shaft diameter of 2.5 inches, and a wall thickness of 0.083 inches. It features a slip yoke on one end and a universal joint on the other. This driveshaft is not greaseable and does not include an axle nut or CV joints. Its overall length is adjustable.

Installation of this driveshaft requires basic hand tools and is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory unit. No modifications are necessary. Ensure the vehicle is properly supported and the appropriate safety precautions are taken during installation.

This driveshaft is specifically designed to fit 1991-1996 Jeep Cherokee XJ models equipped with a 4.0L engine and 2WD. A critical fitment factor is the vehicle's rear axle, which must be an 8.25-inch axle for proper compatibility. It is important to verify the axle size before purchase, as the vehicle database does not provide this specification.
