Detailed Description

This Dorman 986-213 drive shaft is built for rear-drive Toyota Cressida models from 1985 through 1988. It is engineered as a complete assembly, which helps simplify replacement when the original shaft is worn, damaged, or out of balance. The steel construction, fixed 54.375 in length, transmission yoke, and flange end provide the core dimensions needed for a proper driveline match on the specified Toyota Cressida fitment.

This part cross-references Toyota OE number 3710022450 for the same application. If you are searching for a Toyota Cressida rear drive shaft replacement, Dorman 986-213 provides the correct fitment-focused solution for 1985, 1986, 1987, and 1988 vehicles.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Driveline vibration caused by a worn or unbalanced shaft
  • Clunking or noise from worn universal joints
  • Damage to the original shaft tube or yokes
  • Excessive driveline play from a failing rear driveshaft assembly
  • Need for a complete Toyota Cressida rear drive shaft replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify flange style, transmission yoke engagement, and overall length before installation. Compare the original shaft dimensions to the 54.375 in compressed length and confirm rear-position fitment on the 1985-1988 Toyota Cressida. Because this assembly is not adjustable and does not use a slip yoke, accurate vehicle identification and driveline measurement are important before removal of the original part.

Dorman supplies this drive shaft as a complete replacement assembly with new core components and pre-balanced construction for consistent installation results. Part number 986-213 is built to match the specified Toyota Cressida rear application and is backed by Dorman’s OE-style replacement engineering approach.
