Dorman 986-748 Rear Drive Shaft for Volvo XC90

The Dorman 986-748 drive shaft assembly is a direct replacement for rear driveline service on select Volvo XC90 models. It arrives pre-balanced and assembled with new yokes, tubes, CV joints, and universal joints to simplify replacement and restore driveline function.

Key Features

  • Complete rear drive shaft assembly for select Volvo XC90 applications
  • Pre-balanced for installation-ready service
  • 100% new yokes, tubes, constant velocity joints, and universal joints
  • Steel shaft construction with a 2.5 in shaft diameter
  • Pre-greased design with CV joints and universal joints included
  • Standard replacement grade for OE-style driveline service
  • Overall length adjustable with 1 in max slip
  • End 1 and End 2 are bolt-on connections

Detailed Description

Built for rear driveline replacement, Dorman 986-748 is a steel drive shaft assembly measuring 87.8 in overall length with a 0.65 in wall thickness. It is phased at 0 degrees, uses bolt-on ends, and does not include a slip yoke. This assembly is a practical solution when servicing the rear drive shaft on a 2013 Volvo XC90, rear from VIN 650001, or a 2014 Volvo XC90, rear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

  • Driveline vibration from a worn or out-of-balance shaft
  • Clunking or driveline noise from worn U-joints
  • Binding or rough operation from failed CV joints
  • Service issues caused by damaged yokes or shaft tubing
  • Rear driveline replacement needs on Volvo XC90 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment before ordering: Fits 2013 Volvo XC90, Rear, from VIN 650001, and Fits 2014 Volvo XC90, Rear. Confirm flange-to-flange length, bolt-on end configuration, and driveline alignment before installation. Because the assembly is pre-balanced and pre-greased, it is ready for direct replacement once the vehicle is properly supported and the original shaft is removed.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies this drive shaft as a standard replacement assembly with new internal and external driveline components for consistent service on the specified Volvo XC90 applications.
