  • Measures 29.82 inches in length for accurate fitment
  • Features 29 splines and 5 lug holes for secure wheel attachment

Durable Construction and Precise Specifications

The Dorman 630-312 drive axle shaft is built from carbon steel, ensuring strength and resistance to wear under demanding driving conditions. With a length of 29.82 inches, this solid shaft axle is designed to match the exact specifications required for Jeep Cherokee models. The axle features 29 splines and 5 lug holes, providing a secure connection to the wheel hub and maintaining proper alignment. Note that this axle shaft does not include an ABS tone ring, so it is intended for vehicles without ABS sensor requirements.

Applications and Problem Resolution

This drive axle shaft is specifically compatible with Jeep Cherokee vehicles equipped with solid shaft axles. It is suitable for addressing common driveline issues such as:

  • Worn or damaged axle shafts causing vibrations or noise
  • Broken or stripped splines affecting wheel engagement
  • Corroded or weakened axle components reducing driveline integrity
  • Leaking seals leading to grease loss and bearing damage
  • Loose or missing wheel studs compromising wheel security

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman 630-312 axle shaft, ensure the vehicle is properly supported and the old axle is removed carefully to avoid damage to surrounding components. Verify that the 5 lug holes align correctly with the wheel hub and that the 29 splines engage fully for a secure fit. Replace any worn wheel studs or nuts as needed. Since this axle does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm your vehicle’s ABS system compatibility before installation.
