Product Details
Cardone Driveshaft / Prop Shaft 65-9484 is part of the Cardone driveshaft and prop shaft line, which focuses on engineered replacement components for driveline repair. This front drive shaft is designed for 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota, front, with a 26-1/4 in. long driveshaft, and 1998-1999 Dodge Durango, front, with a 26 in. long driveshaft. For buyers searching for a 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota front drive shaft or a 1998-1999 Dodge Durango front prop shaft, this unit is built to restore OE-style driveline geometry and balance. This part cross-references Dodge (e.g., 26099555, 52099204) for the same application.
Common Driveline Issues This Part Addresses
- Driveline vibration at highway speeds
- Worn slip yoke movement or binding
- Noise from an out-of-balance prop shaft
- Fitment problems from a damaged or incorrect-length shaft
- Reduced joint life caused by imbalance or wear
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the collapsed shaft length and U-joint centerline measurements before installation, since fitment depends on the exact front driveshaft length listed for each vehicle. Confirm the vehicle application against the notes for your Dodge Dakota or Dodge Durango, and inspect related U-joints, yokes, and driveline mounting points during replacement. Proper measurement and alignment help maintain smooth operation after installation.
Quality Assurance
Cardone engineers and tests prop shafts to meet OE performance targets, and each unit is dynamically balanced for vibration-free operation. The steel construction, greasable design, and lubricated slip yokes support consistent driveline performance in service.
