Product Details

Dorman 938-069 is a front drive shaft assembly for the Kia Sorento that replaces the original shaft with a serviceable OE FIX configuration. Instead of permanently staked U-joints, this design allows the universal joints to be serviced separately, which can simplify future driveline maintenance. The steel shaft, slip yoke, and greaseable construction support a practical replacement for front driveline repair on 2007, 2008, and 2009 Kia Sorento models.

This part cross-references Kia (e.g., 491003E900) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Worn or noisy front drive shaft U-joints
  • Difficulty servicing factory-staked universal joints
  • Vibration from driveline wear
  • Front driveline looseness or play
  • Replacement needs on a damaged Kia Sorento front driveshaft

Installation Notes

Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front position before installation. Confirm driveline measurements, including overall length and shaft dimensions, against the original part. Inspect related driveline components, mounting points, and seals during replacement to help ensure proper operation after installation.

Quality Assurance

Dorman OE FIX parts are engineered to address common service limitations found in original equipment designs. Part number 938-069 follows that approach by making the U-joints serviceable for simpler maintenance on the front drive shaft assembly.
