The steel shaft measures 61.25 inches overall, with a 60.25-inch collapsed flange-to-flange length, and it is supplied pre-balanced for consistent driveline performance. The assembly includes CV joints and uses bolt-on ends for a service-friendly installation path. Part number 966-543 is also cross-referenced to 3710050120 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Replacing a shaft with excessive play, noise, or driveline lash
  • Servicing a rear drive shaft assembly without rebuilding internal components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify compressed length, flange-to-flange length, and end type before installation. This assembly uses bolt-on ends and is pre-greased, so inspect mating surfaces and related driveline components during service. Confirm the rear application on the Lexus LS500 and compare the original shaft configuration to part number 966-543 before final installation.
