Detailed Product Overview

This Dorman drive shaft, part number 986-738, is built for rear driveline service on 1993-1998 Toyota Supra models, including 1993 Toyota Supra rear vehicles built from 5/93 and 1994-1998 Toyota Supra rear applications. It measures 43.25 inches collapsed flange face to flange face, with a 44.25-inch drive shaft length and 2.5-inch shaft diameter. The steel construction and bolt-on ends support direct replacement use, while the pre-greased, pre-balanced assembly helps reduce setup time during driveline repair. This part cross-references Toyota 3710014810 for the same application.

Common Repair Symptoms

• Driveline vibration at speed
• Clunking or knocking from the rear driveline
• Worn universal joints or shaft components
• Excessive play in the driveshaft assembly
• Noise after driveline service or component failure

Installation Notes

Verify rear fitment against the vehicle’s original shaft dimensions, flange style, and compressed length before installation. Confirm the bolt-on end configuration and inspect mating driveline components for wear, damage, or imbalance that could affect the new assembly. Because this shaft is pre-balanced and pre-greased, it is prepared for installation, but proper torque procedures and driveline alignment should still be followed.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies this drive shaft as a standard replacement assembly with new major wear components already installed. The design focuses on restoring driveline function with a complete, ready-to-install unit for select Toyota Supra rear applications.
