Product Details

The adjustable overall length and slip yoke help support proper driveline fitment in the listed vehicles.

Common Issues This Part May Address

  • Vibration from a worn or out-of-balance driveshaft
  • Clunking or driveline noise from damaged shaft components
  • Loss of power transfer caused by a failed shaft assembly
  • Excess play from worn yokes or tube wear
  • Fitment problems when replacing an original rear driveshaft

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear-position fitment before installation and confirm the vehicle is a 1980-1981 Toyota Celica or 1981-1984 Toyota Cressida without Independent Rear Suspension. Compare shaft length, diameter, and slip yoke configuration to the original part before removal. Because this assembly is pre-balanced, avoid altering the shaft or adding modifications that could affect balance.
