Product Details

This Dorman drive shaft is built for rear driveline replacement on Ford F-150 trucks from 1994 through 1996. The steel shaft measures 3 inches in diameter with an 0.083-inch wall thickness, and the compressed length is 81.375 inches with an overall drive shaft length of 82.875 inches. The assembly uses a transmission yoke on one end and a flange on the other, and it includes a slip yoke for proper driveline connection. Dorman 986-075 is a practical OE-style replacement for worn or damaged driveline components on the Ford F-150.

This part cross-references Ford OE number F4TZ4R602D for the same application.

Common Problems It Can Solve

• Driveline vibration from a bent or out-of-balance shaft
• Clunking or driveline noise from worn universal joints
• Loss of smooth power transfer from damaged yokes or tubes
• Service issues caused by a non-greaseable or worn shaft assembly
• Replacement needs after impact, corrosion, or driveline wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear-position fitment before installation on your 1994-1996 Ford F-150. Confirm overall length, end types, and flange connection points against the original shaft before removal. Inspect related driveline components, including mounting surfaces and companion hardware, for wear or damage before installing the replacement shaft. Because the assembly is pre-balanced, avoid modifying the shaft or adding unapproved weights during service.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies this driveshaft as a complete replacement assembly with new tubes, yokes, and universal joints. The pre-balanced construction supports consistent driveline operation after installation, and the greaseable design provides service access for routine maintenance.
