Detailed Description

This Dorman drive shaft is engineered as a standard replacement for the rear driveline on 2012-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer models. The assembly is supplied pre-balanced and uses all-new components throughout, which helps simplify replacement when the original shaft is worn, damaged, or producing driveline vibration. Part number 986-548 is also referenced by cross-reference number 3401A237 for the same application.

Built from steel with a 2.5 to 3 inch shaft diameter and an 80.25 inch compressed length, this rear drive shaft is configured with a slip yoke at one end and a bolt-on connection at the other. The included CV joints and universal joints support proper driveline articulation for the Mitsubishi Lancer rear position.

What This Drive Shaft Helps Address

  • Driveline vibration from a worn or out-of-balance shaft
  • Clunking or noise from damaged universal joints
  • Binding or rough operation from worn CV joints
  • Failure of the original rear drive shaft assembly
  • Fitment issues when replacing a shaft with the wrong length or end configuration

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear-position fitment before installation on your 2012-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer. Confirm compressed length, end types, and driveline configuration against the original shaft. Because this assembly is pre-balanced, handle it carefully during installation to avoid affecting balance. Inspect mating surfaces and related driveline components before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies this drive shaft as a complete replacement assembly with new yokes, tubes, CV joints, and universal joints for consistent service fitment. Part number 986-548 is built to standard replacement specifications for the listed Mitsubishi Lancer rear applications.
