It is a standard replacement assembly with a steel shaft, fixed overall length, and a slip yoke at one end with a bolt-on connection at the other.

Installation Notes and Tips
Verify rear driveline measurements before installation, including compressed length and flange/end style. Inspect mating components, mounting points, and related driveline hardware for wear before installing the new assembly. Because this drive shaft is pre-balanced and built as a complete assembly, proper alignment and torque during installation are important for smooth operation.
