The steel construction, 60.125-inch compressed length, and 3.5-inch shaft diameter provide the core dimensions needed for a proper driveline match. Dorman supplies this assembly pre-balanced and with new yokes, tubes, and universal joints to reduce the need for separate component rebuilding during service. This part cross-references 26022608 for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Problems It Can Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveline vibration from a worn or out-of-balance shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClunking or driveline noise from failed universal joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamage to the original shaft tube or yokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcess play in the rear driveline assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eService delays caused by rebuilding multiple shaft components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify rear application, compressed length, and end types before installation on the 1991 Oldsmobile Bravada. Confirm that the transmission yoke and U-joint connection points match the vehicle’s original driveline configuration. Inspect related driveline components, mounting points, and seals during replacement to help ensure a proper repair. Because this shaft is not adjustable and does not use a slip yoke, accurate fitment confirmation is important before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorman manufactures this drive shaft as a complete replacement assembly with new core components and pre-balanced construction for service readiness.
