Fitment Details

Compatible with Mercedes-Benz 190E rear applications. Fits 1987-1988 Mercedes-Benz 190E, rear. Fits 1991-1993 Mercedes-Benz 190E, rear. This Dorman 986-499 drive shaft is a direct-fit solution for rear driveline replacement on these Mercedes-Benz 190E model years.

What This Drive Shaft Helps Address

  • Vibration from a worn or out-of-balance rear driveshaft
  • Clunking or driveline noise from damaged CV joints
  • Loss of driveline smoothness caused by worn shaft components
  • Service needs after failure of the original rear drive shaft assembly
  • Replacement of a shaft with fatigued tubes, yokes, or joints

Installation Notes

Verify rear-position fitment before ordering and confirm the 58 in. compressed length, bolt-on end connections, and no-slip-yoke design against the original part. Because this assembly is pre-balanced, it should be installed with care to preserve balance and driveline alignment. Always inspect related mounts and driveline components during replacement.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies this drive shaft as a standard replacement assembly built with new components for consistent service fitment. The pre-balanced design and new CV-joint construction support a straightforward replacement process for Mercedes-Benz 190E rear driveline service.
