Detailed Product Overview

This Dorman drive shaft is built for 2014-2017 Chevrolet Caprice rear applications, including ID AAJX configurations. The 986-359 part number is a direct driveline replacement option when the original shaft is worn, damaged, or out of balance. With a 63-inch drive shaft length, 0.083-inch wall thickness, and steel shaft material, it provides the core dimensions needed for a proper driveline service replacement on the Chevrolet Caprice.

The assembly includes universal joints and uses triprong connections at both ends. CV joints are not included, and the shaft is not adjustable or greaseable. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 92261521) for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Driveline vibration from a worn or unbalanced shaft
• Clunking or driveline noise from failed universal joints
• Damage to the original shaft tubes or yokes
• Excess play in the rear driveline assembly
• Service replacement needs for a 2014-2017 Chevrolet Caprice rear driveline

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s rear driveline configuration and ID AAJX before ordering. Compare the compressed length, end type, and shaft diameter to the original part to confirm proper match-up. Because this assembly is not adjustable, accurate fitment checks are important before installation. Dorman 986-359 is intended for rear placement on 2014-2017 Chevrolet Caprice models.
