The Dorman 946-260 is a direct-fit driveline replacement for Frontier models in those years, and the part number 946-260 should be verified against the vehicle’s original driveline configuration before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Fix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveline vibration from a worn or out-of-balance rear shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClunking or driveline noise from worn joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamage to the original shaft tube or yokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcess play caused by failed CV or universal joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService issues related to a bent or fatigued rear driveshaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfirm rear-position fitment, overall length, shaft diameter, and flange or joint configuration before installation. Inspect related driveline components, including mounts and differential connection points, for wear or damage that could affect the new assembly.
