Detailed Description

This Dorman axle shaft is engineered to replace the original equipment part on specific Jeep CJ5, CJ7, and Scrambler rear left positions. It matches the listed application requirements with a 29-spline solid shaft axle design and carbon steel construction, making it a practical choice when the original shaft is damaged or when bearing wear has affected axle performance.

Compatible With 1976-1981 Jeep CJ5 rear left, 1976-1981 Jeep CJ7 rear left, 1981 Jeep Scrambler rear left, and 1982-1983 Jeep CJ5 rear left. This part number, 630-317, is intended for the listed rear left fitments and notes, including applications without Quadra-Trac where specified.

What It Helps Repair

• Axle shaft damage from wear, impact, or fatigue
• Rear axle noise related to worn bearing and seal surfaces
• Wheel end issues tied to a failing axle shaft assembly
• Loss of proper wheel support at the rear left position
• Restoration of OE-style axle fitment on listed Jeep models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify spline count, axle length, wheel lug pattern, and rear left position before installation. Confirm whether the vehicle is equipped with Quadra-Trac, since the listed fitment excludes that configuration where noted. Inspect the bearing and seal surfaces carefully during service, and replace any worn related components as needed to complete the repair correctly.
