Dorman 936-262 Rear Drive Shaft for Nissan D21

Dorman 936-262 is a rear drive shaft for select 1991-1993 Nissan D21 models built in the U.S.A. It uses a steel shaft with a 2.5 in diameter, 0.065 in wall thickness, and a 72.5 in overall length for direct replacement service. This OE FIX design updates the original rear driveshaft layout by making the U-joints serviceable for easier maintenance.

Key Features

  • Steel shaft construction for driveline service replacement
  • 2.5 in shaft diameter with 0.065 in wall thickness
  • 72.5 in drive shaft length
  • Rear position application for Nissan D21
  • OE FIX design with serviceable universal joints
  • Non-greaseable and non-adjustable design

Detailed Description

This Dorman drive shaft, part number 936-262, is built for 1991-1993 Nissan D21 rear driveline service where the original shaft uses permanently staked universal joints. By changing the joint serviceability, this rear drive shaft simplifies future maintenance without changing the vehicle’s rear-position fitment. It is a steel replacement shaft intended for Nissan D21 trucks built in the U.S.A., and it cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 172286 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Worn or damaged rear drive shaft assemblies
  • Driveline vibration caused by shaft wear
  • Service difficulty from non-serviceable factory U-joints
  • Noise from failing universal joints
  • Loss of driveline smoothness in rear-wheel applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear-position fitment before installation and confirm the vehicle is a 1991-1993 Nissan D21 built in the U.S.A. Compare shaft length, diameter, and mounting configuration to the original unit before removal. Because this shaft is not adjustable, correct application matching is important for proper driveline alignment.

Quality Assurance

Dorman OE FIX parts are engineered to address known service issues in original equipment designs. Part number 936-262 follows that approach by making the U-joints serviceable for easier maintenance on the rear drive shaft assembly.
