Detailed Description

The Dorman 936-944 rear drive shaft is a direct-fit replacement for select Subaru Impreza models from 2002 through 2005. It uses a steel shaft with a 2.5-inch diameter, 57.875-inch overall drive shaft length, and 0.065-inch wall thickness to match the rear driveline application. The greaseable design and serviceable universal joints make future maintenance simpler than the original non-serviceable setup.

Confirm the OE reference 27111FE040 when matching the application.
