Detailed Description

This Dorman drive shaft assembly, part number 986-902, is built for rear driveline replacement on the Chevrolet Camaro with the manual 6-speed transmission package. The steel shaft uses a bolt-on end design at both ends, a 0.083 in. wall thickness, and an overall length that matches the listed application dimensions for a direct-service fit. It is a multi-piece shaft with adjustable overall length and no slip yoke, making it a practical solution when the original shaft is worn, damaged, or out of balance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Vibration from a worn or unbalanced driveshaft
• Clunking or driveline noise during acceleration or deceleration
• Damage to yokes, tubes, or joints from driveline wear
• Service issues tied to a failed rear drive shaft assembly
• Fitment concerns on 2018-2022 Chevrolet Camaro rear applications with MH3 manual transmission

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s RPO code MH3 before ordering, since this part is listed for 2018-2022 Chevrolet Camaro rear applications with the manual 6-speed transmission. Confirm flange-to-flange and yoke-to-bearing measurements against the existing shaft, and inspect mounting points, companion flanges, and driveline hardware condition before installation. Because the assembly is pre-balanced, avoid altering the shaft or joints during handling and installation.

Quality Assurance
