Detailed Description

This Dorman drive shaft is built for rear driveline replacement on the Toyota Cressida and is listed for 1985, 1986, and 1987 model years.

What It Helps Fix

  • Driveline vibration from a worn or unbalanced shaft
  • Clunking or driveline noise from worn joints
  • Excess play from damaged yokes or shaft components
  • Failure caused by corrosion, fatigue, or impact damage
  • Service issues on a rear Toyota Cressida drive shaft assembly

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment before ordering: this part is listed for 1985-1987 Toyota Cressida, rear. Confirm the compressed length of 57.13 in., slip yoke end 1, bolt-on end 2, and 3 in. shaft diameter against the original shaft. Inspect mating driveline components, flange surfaces, and mounting points before installation. Because the assembly is pre-balanced and pre-greased, it is ready for installation once the vehicle-specific measurements and connection points are confirmed.
