Technical Details of Dorman 938-090 Drive Shaft

This drive shaft is specifically designed for Ram 1500 and 1500 Classic trucks, ensuring compatibility and proper fitment. The steel shaft material offers strength and resistance to wear, while the included CV joints help maintain consistent torque transfer and reduce vibration. With a shaft diameter of 2.5 inches and a wall thickness of 0.083 inches, the drive shaft balances durability with weight considerations. The fixed length of 33.12 inches means it is ready to install without adjustment, and the absence of a slip yoke or axle nut requires using existing components or separately sourced parts.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Dorman 938-090 drive shaft requires proper alignment and torque specifications to ensure driveline balance. Since the drive shaft does not include an axle nut or slip yoke, verify compatibility with existing hardware or acquire necessary components separately. The non-greaseable design means no additional lubrication is required during installation. It is recommended to inspect surrounding driveline components for wear during replacement.
