Detailed Description

This Dorman drive shaft is built for rear driveline service on 2007-2014 Mercedes-Benz CL600 and 2008-2014 Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG models. The assembly uses steel construction, is pre-greased, and arrives phased to support proper driveline alignment during replacement. With bolt-on ends and a compressed length of 67.25 inches, Dorman 986-925 is a direct-fit solution for rear drive shaft service on these Mercedes-Benz applications.

This part cross-references Mercedes-Benz OE part number 2164100706 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Driveline vibration from a worn or out-of-balance shaft
• Clunking or driveline noise from worn joints
• Loss of smooth power transfer to the rear axle
• Service issues caused by damaged yokes or tubes
• Replacement needs after CV joint or universal joint wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear-position fitment before ordering. Confirm flange and bolt-on connection points, overall length, and collapsed length against the original shaft. Because this assembly is phased and pre-balanced, install it in the same orientation as the removed unit and inspect mating surfaces, fasteners, and surrounding driveline components before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Dorman builds this replacement drive shaft as a complete assembly with new structural and joint components to support consistent driveline service. It is intended as a standard replacement for the listed Mercedes-Benz CL600 and CL65 AMG rear applications.
