Durable Steel Construction and Adjustable Length

This Dorman drive shaft (part number 976-739) is designed with a steel shaft that ensures durability and resistance to wear. The 2.5-inch diameter and 0.083-inch wall thickness provide a solid balance between strength and weight. Featuring an adjustable overall length, this drive shaft can be fine-tuned for an accurate fit in Jeep Wrangler driveline assemblies. The inclusion of a slip yoke allows for smooth movement and helps accommodate suspension travel without compromising driveline integrity.

Compatible Applications and Use Cases

This drive shaft is compatible with Jeep Wrangler models requiring a 21.125-inch length and 2.5-inch diameter shaft. It is ideal for addressing common driveline issues such as:

  • Vibration or noise caused by worn or damaged drive shafts
  • Excessive play or looseness in the driveline assembly
  • Drive shaft length mismatch or improper fitment
  • Failure of original equipment drive shafts due to corrosion or fatigue
  • Replacement of non-greaseable, regular grade drive shafts

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman 976-739 drive shaft on a Jeep Wrangler, ensure the slip yoke is properly seated and aligned to prevent driveline vibrations. Since this drive shaft does not include CV joints or axle nuts, reuse existing components or source them separately as needed. The adjustable length feature allows for fine-tuning during installation to achieve optimal driveline geometry and performance.
