Dorman 936-005 Drive Shaft - Rear

Dorman 936-005 Rear Drive Shaft for Montero Sport

Dorman 936-005 is a rear drive shaft for select 1997-2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport models. It addresses the service challenges of original shafts that use permanently staked universal joints by providing a rear driveshaft with serviceable U-joints for easier maintenance.

Key Features

• Steel shaft construction for driveline strength
• 3-inch shaft diameter
• 51.625-inch drive shaft length
• 0.065-inch wall thickness
• Rear driveshaft application for Mitsubishi Montero Sport
• OE FIX design with serviceable universal joints
• Non-greaseable design
• Fixed-length shaft, not adjustable

Detailed Description

This Dorman OE FIX rear drive shaft is built for 1997-2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport rear driveline service. Part number 936-005 is engineered as a direct replacement for the original rear shaft on the listed vehicles, with a design that makes the universal joints serviceable instead of permanently staked. That can simplify future driveline maintenance on a Mitsubishi Montero Sport rear drive shaft application.

The steel shaft measures 3 inches in diameter with a 51.625-inch overall length and 0.065-inch wall thickness. It is a regular-grade, fixed-length rear driveshaft and is not greaseable. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Rear driveline vibration caused by worn or damaged U-joints
• Service difficulty from permanently staked universal joints
• Noise from a failing rear drive shaft assembly
• Loss of driveline smoothness in a 1997-2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport
• Need for a serviceable rear driveshaft replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment before installation on 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport models. Compare shaft length, diameter, and mounting configuration to the original part before removal. Because this is a fixed-length rear driveshaft, confirm the driveline setup matches the vehicle specification before installation. Part number 936-005 should be matched to the rear position only.

Quality Assurance

Dorman OE FIX parts are developed to address known service issues in original equipment designs while maintaining application-specific fitment. For this rear drive shaft, the serviceable U-joint design is intended to improve maintenance access on the listed Mitsubishi Montero Sport applications.
