Detailed Description

Dorman 936-120 is a rear drive shaft replacement for 2005-2006 Chevrolet Equinox and 2006 Pontiac Torrent models. It is engineered as an OE FIX solution for vehicles originally equipped with staked U-joints, replacing that hard-to-service design with a shaft that allows U-joint service during future driveline work. The steel shaft construction, 2.5-inch diameter, and 0.065-inch wall thickness support a direct-fit rear driveline replacement for the listed applications.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. Dorman 936-120 is a practical choice when searching for a rear drive shaft for 2005-2006 Chevrolet Equinox or a rear drive shaft for 2006 Pontiac Torrent.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Worn or noisy rear drive shaft U-joints
• Service difficulty caused by permanently staked universal joints
• Driveline vibration related to a damaged rear shaft
• Loss of driveline smoothness from shaft wear or fatigue
• Need for a direct rear drive shaft replacement on listed vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear-position fitment before installation and confirm the vehicle is a 2005-2006 Chevrolet Equinox or 2006 Pontiac Torrent. Compare shaft length, diameter, and mounting points against the original assembly before removal. Because this shaft is not adjustable, accurate application matching is important for proper driveline alignment.

Quality Assurance

Dorman designs OE FIX parts to address known service limitations in original equipment components. Part number 936-120 follows that approach by making the rear drive shaft U-joints serviceable for easier maintenance on the listed Equinox and Torrent applications.
