Durable Construction and Precise Fitment

This Dorman drive shaft (part number 976-835) is constructed from high-quality steel, providing the necessary strength to handle the torque demands of heavy-duty Chevrolet and GMC trucks. The shaft features a transmission yoke on one end and a U-joint on the other, allowing for smooth articulation and power delivery. The included universal joints are greaseable, which helps extend the service life by allowing routine lubrication.

  • Ideal for trucks experiencing universal joint wear or failure
  • Suitable for vehicles needing a greaseable drive shaft for maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dorman 976-835 drive shaft, ensure the transmission yoke and U-joint ends are properly aligned to prevent driveline vibration. The greaseable universal joints should be lubricated during installation and periodically thereafter to maintain smooth operation. Verify the slip yoke fits securely into the transmission output shaft. This drive shaft is not adjustable in overall length, so confirm the 63.12-inch length matches your vehicle’s requirements before installation.
