It follows an OE FIX approach by addressing a common service issue on the original driveline: permanently staked universal joints that make repairs difficult. This replacement uses a serviceable U-joint design to support simpler driveline maintenance over time. The steel shaft, 36-inch length, 2.5-inch diameter, and 0.065-inch wall thickness provide the core dimensions needed for a direct driveline replacement on the specified application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Solve\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorn or damaged rear driveshaft on a 1984 Nissan 300ZX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService difficulty caused by staked universal joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveline vibration related to a failing shaft assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise from worn rear driveline components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeed for a serviceable replacement instead of a non-serviceable OE design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify rear-position fitment and confirm the vehicle is a 1984 Nissan 300ZX with 2 passenger seating before installation.
