This Dorman drive shaft assembly is a direct-fit replacement for rear driveline service on compatible Toyota Tacoma applications. Part number 966-500 is pre-balanced and built as a complete assembly with new yokes, tubes, CV joints, and universal joints for a straightforward replacement process.

Key Features

Detailed Description

Built for rear driveline replacement, this Dorman drive shaft is engineered to match the original application requirements for 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma models. The assembly uses a steel shaft, phased construction, and a 90-degree phase angle to support proper driveline alignment. Part number 966-500 is supplied as a complete unit, reducing the need to rebuild individual shaft components during service.

The design includes a slip yoke at one end and a bolt-on connection at the other, along with pre-greased universal joints. Dorman 966-500 cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 3710004300, 3710004301) for the same application.

Common Uses

  • Restoring a worn or damaged rear drive shaft
  • Addressing driveline vibration caused by shaft imbalance
  • Replacing worn yokes, tubes, or universal joints in one service
  • Correcting driveline noise from internal shaft wear
  • Servicing a Tacoma rear driveline with a complete assembly

Installation Notes

Verify compressed length, spline count, and end types before installation. This drive shaft is not overall-length adjustable, so application matching is important. Confirm rear fitment on 2005-2015 Toyota Tacoma models and compare the original shaft configuration to part number 966-500 before removal.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies this drive shaft as a standard replacement assembly built with new major components for the listed application. Part number 966-500 is designed for direct service replacement on compatible Toyota Tacoma rear driveline applications.
