This Dorman OE FIX rear drive shaft is built for 2007-2009 Chevrolet Equinox and 2007-2009 Pontiac Torrent rear applications. Dorman 946-035 replaces the original shaft with a serviceable design that makes universal joint maintenance simpler.

  • Greaseable drive shaft design

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.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Driveline vibration from a worn rear driveshaft
  • Noise from failing universal joints
  • Difficulty servicing staked U-joints on the original shaft
  • Rear driveline wear on 2007-2009 Chevrolet Equinox and Pontiac Torrent models
  • Need for a serviceable OE-style rear shaft replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Dorman 946-035 is listed for rear position use on 2007-2009 Chevrolet Equinox and 2007-2009 Pontiac Torrent.

Quality Assurance
