The steel shaft measures 25.75 inches in length, with a 1.5-inch diameter and 0.083-inch wall thickness. It does not include CV joints, a slip yoke, or an axle nut, and the overall length is adjustable to support proper installation. Compatible with Mercedes-Benz E350, C300, GLK350, S550, and related applications, Dorman 938-241 is a practical replacement when the original front drive shaft has worn joints or driveline play. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Solve\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClunking or vibration from worn front driveline joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService issues caused by staked, non-serviceable U-joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveline looseness from shaft wear or joint play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement needs after front drive shaft damage or fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment concerns on select Mercedes-Benz front driveline applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and front position before installation.

Inspect mating components for wear and replace any damaged hardware or related driveline parts as needed.
