Detailed Description

This Dorman drive shaft is built for 2017-2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty rear driveline service and matches the needs of trucks requiring a bolt-on replacement assembly. The steel shaft uses a 0.083 in wall thickness, a 1 in max slip, and an overall length that supports the listed rear fitment. Part number 986-951 is a direct replacement-style solution for restoring driveline function on the Ford F-250 Super Duty, rear.

This part cross-references Ford OE numbers HC3Z4R602EG and HC3Z4R602H for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Vibration from a worn or out-of-balance rear drive shaft
  • Clunking or driveline noise from worn joints
  • Loss of smooth power transfer to the rear axle
  • Service issues caused by damaged yokes or shaft tubing
  • Replacement needs after driveline wear or corrosion

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify flange-to-flange length, compressed length, and rear position before installation. Confirm the 90-degree phasing and bolt-on end configuration match the original driveline setup on your Ford F-250 Super Duty. Inspect mating surfaces and driveline hardware condition during service, and follow factory torque specifications during installation.
