OE FIX Serviceable Design

Original rear drive shafts on these vehicles use permanently staked universal joints, which can make service difficult when wear develops. Dorman 946-035 addresses that issue with a rear driveshaft design that allows U-joint servicing instead of replacing the entire assembly. It is a direct-fit driveline replacement for Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent rear driveline service, with steel construction and an adjustable overall length for proper installation.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.
