Technical Details and Specifications

The Dorman 938-069 drive shaft is designed as a regular grade replacement part, featuring a 25.5-inch length and a 2.5-inch diameter steel shaft. Its 0.083-inch wall thickness balances strength and weight, while the greaseable design allows for routine lubrication to reduce wear. The included slip yoke facilitates smooth driveline articulation, accommodating suspension and drivetrain movement. This drive shaft does not come with CV joints or axle nuts, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.

This drive shaft is specifically compatible with Kia Sorento models, making it a suitable replacement for vehicles requiring a 25.5-inch steel drive shaft with adjustable length. It is intended for use in driveline and axle repairs where the original drive shaft is worn, damaged, or failing.

  • Eliminates vibrations caused by worn or bent drive shafts
  • Replaces damaged or corroded drive shaft components
  • Restores proper driveline alignment and power transfer
  • Addresses grease-related maintenance issues with a greaseable design
  • Supports driveline repairs requiring slip yoke functionality

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman 938-069 drive shaft on a Kia Sorento, ensure the overall length is adjusted to match the vehicle’s specifications. Proper lubrication of the greaseable sections is recommended during installation and routine maintenance. Verify that the slip yoke is securely connected and that all fasteners meet torque specifications. Since CV joints and axle nuts are not included, confirm these components are in good condition or replaced as necessary.
