Dorman 938-126 Drive Shaft - Front

OE FIX Front Drive Shaft for Jeep

Dorman 938-126 is a front drive shaft built for specific Jeep applications where the original shaft uses permanently staked universal joints. This OE FIX design makes the U-joints serviceable, helping simplify future maintenance on the driveline.

Compatible with 2005-2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee, front, and 2006 Jeep Commander, front, this steel drive shaft is sized for the listed applications and includes an adjustable overall length for proper fitment. The greaseable design supports routine service, while the 2-inch shaft diameter and 0.083-inch wall thickness reflect a regular-duty steel construction.

• Overall length adjustable for application-specific fitment
• 32.5 in drive shaft length with 2 in diameter

Detailed Description

Dorman 938-126 is engineered as a direct replacement front drive shaft for select Jeep models. It addresses the common service challenge of factory shafts with staked universal joints by using a design that allows U-joint service instead of requiring full shaft replacement in many maintenance scenarios. The steel construction, greaseable joints, and adjustable overall length make it a practical driveline replacement for 2005-2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2006 Jeep Commander front applications with Sales Code DHZ single mode 4WD.

This part cross-references Cardone Reman 65-3004 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Worn or noisy front drive shaft U-joints
• Service difficulty caused by permanently staked factory joints

• Need for a replacement front shaft on Jeep Grand Cherokee or Jeep Commander
• Maintenance issues on single mode 4WD front driveline setups

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle configuration before ordering, including model year, front position, and Sales Code DHZ single mode 4WD where required. Confirm driveline length and mounting points against the original shaft before installation. After installation, inspect for smooth rotation, proper engagement, and any driveline vibration during road test.
