What This Drive Shaft Helps Address

• Clunking or driveline noise from failed joints
• Driveline play caused by worn yokes or tubes
• Loss of smooth power transfer to the rear axle
• Replacement needs after CV joint or universal joint wear

Installation Notes

Verify rear position, compressed length, flange and triprong end types, and vehicle build date before installation. This assembly is not adjustable and does not use a slip yoke, so correct application matching is important. Confirm the existing driveline configuration on your Hyundai Tucson or Kia Sportage before ordering Dorman 986-388.
