Product Details

Built for rear applications, this drive shaft is a direct replacement option for 2005-2009 Hyundai Tucson, rear, 2005-2009 Kia Sportage, rear, and 2010 Kia Sportage, rear, old body style. The steel shaft uses a 0.065 in wall thickness and includes CV joints and universal joints already installed, helping reduce the number of separate components needed during driveline service. If you are replacing a worn rear driveshaft on a Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage, Dorman 986-099 provides a complete assembly approach for the listed applications.

This part cross-references OE number 493002E000 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Vibration from a worn or out-of-balance rear driveshaft
• Clunking or driveline noise from worn joints
• Excess play caused by damaged yokes or shaft components
• Service delays from rebuilding multiple driveline parts separately
• Rear driveline failure on listed Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, model, and body style before installation. Confirm the triprong and flange end configurations match the vehicle’s driveline connection points, and compare the compressed length of 77.375 in to the original shaft before removal. Because this assembly is not adjustable and does not use a slip yoke, accurate application matching is important for proper installation.
