Detailed Description
Built for rear driveline replacement on the 2017 Ford F-150, Dorman 986-578 is a steel drive shaft assembly that simplifies service by combining the shaft, yokes, and universal joints in one ready-to-install unit. The assembly is pre-balanced and uses bolt-on connections at both ends, helping streamline replacement of a worn or damaged rear drive shaft. This part cross-references Ford HL3Z4R602C for the same application.

Confirm slip yoke and bolt-on connection requirements match the vehicle configuration. Inspect mating driveline components for wear before installing the new assembly.
