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.
