Product Details

Cardone’s remanufactured driveshaft line focuses on restoring driveline performance with attention to balance, fit, and durability. For this application, the shaft uses an aluminum tube, a slip yoke on one end, and a universal joint on the other. The assembly is pre-greased, includes universal joints, and is phased to help maintain proper driveline alignment. Cardone also reviews original designs for possible improvements and applies upgrades where appropriate to produce a more durable replacement. If you are searching for a rear driveshaft for a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 or GMC Sierra 1500, Cardone 65-1023 provides a direct-fit remanufactured option.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Addresses

• Driveline vibration at highway speeds
• Worn or noisy universal joints
• Imbalance-related shaking under acceleration
• Damaged or fatigued rear prop shaft assembly
• Drivetrain noise from a failing driveshaft

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear driveline length, end types, and vehicle configuration before installation. This shaft measures 79.37 inches compressed length and uses a slip yoke / universal joint setup, so matching the original driveline design is important. Inspect related components such as U-joint mounting points, yoke condition, and differential-side interfaces during replacement. Because the assembly is phased and balanced, install it in the correct orientation to preserve smooth operation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured prop shafts are produced under strict quality processes, with critical components tested for proper function and each assembly dynamically balanced to support vibration-free performance. Part number 65-1023 is a new remanufactured driveline component built for consistent rear axle service in Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 applications.
