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.

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

- 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
