Detailed Description
This Dorman drive shaft replacement is built for rear driveline service on the Lexus LS400 and is engineered as a complete assembly rather than a partial repair. The 986-912 part number is a practical choice when the original shaft has wear, vibration, or joint-related issues and a full replacement is preferred. With a steel shaft, bolt-on ends, and pre-balanced construction, it supports a straightforward driveline repair for 1995, 1996, and 1997 Lexus LS400 rear applications.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 3710050030) for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Driveline vibration at speed
- Clunking or knocking from worn universal joints
- Noise caused by a damaged or out-of-balance shaft
- Excess play from worn driveline components
- Service issues related to a failing rear drive shaft assembly
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify flange-to-flange length, compressed length, and end type before installation. This rear drive shaft uses bolt-on ends and does not include a slip yoke, axle nut, or grease fitting. Confirm the vehicle is a 1995-1997 Lexus LS400 rear application and inspect mating driveline components for wear before installing the new assembly.
Quality Assurance
Dorman supplies this drive shaft as a standard replacement assembly with new major wear components already installed. The pre-balanced design and new yokes, tubes, CV joints, and universal joints support consistent fitment and serviceability for the Lexus LS400 driveline.
