The assembly uses a steel shaft with a 62.5 in compressed length, a 2.5 in shaft diameter, and a transmission yoke-to-flange layout to match the listed application. Dorman 986-182 is supplied as a complete replacement assembly, making it a practical choice for Subaru Legacy rear driveshaft replacement when the existing unit is no longer serviceable. This part cross-references Subaru 27111AL00A for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Fix\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveline vibration from a worn or out-of-balance shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClunking or noise from worn universal joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDamage to the original shaft tubes or yokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear driveline wear on Subaru Legacy models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement needs after shaft failure or excessive play\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify rear fitment before installation by matching the vehicle year, model, and end configuration. Confirm the 62.5 in compressed length, transmission yoke end, and flange end against the original shaft. Because this assembly is not adjustable and does not include a slip yoke, proper application matching is important for correct driveline alignment on the Subaru Legacy rear position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDorman builds this assembly as a complete replacement with new yokes, tubes, and joints, and it is pre-balanced for installation.
