Detailed Description

This Dorman axle shaft is engineered as an OE-style replacement for worn or damaged rear axle assemblies on Chevrolet Express 1500 and GMC Savana 1500 vans. Part number 630-108 matches the original application on select 1996-2002 vehicles and is built to restore proper axle function where bearing wear, shaft damage, or related rear-end issues have occurred. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

With a 33.31-inch length, 5 lug wheel pattern, 5 hole quantity, and 30 spline count, Dorman 630-108 is specified for the rear left or rear right position on compatible Express and Savana models. The included bearing and seal support a complete axle service, while the carbon steel shaft provides the structural strength needed for driveline repair.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Rear axle shaft damage from wear or impact
• Noise or vibration caused by a worn axle assembly
• Oil leakage at the axle seal area
• Wheel-end looseness related to bearing wear
• Loss of driveline performance in the rear axle

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle configuration before ordering, including the 10 bolt cover application, side position, spline count, and overall shaft length. Confirm whether the vehicle uses the rear left or rear right location listed for your Express 1500 or Savana 1500. Inspect the mating surfaces, axle seal area, and bearing seat during installation to help ensure proper fit and operation.
