Detailed Description
This Dorman drive shaft assembly is built as a standard replacement for BMW driveline service, including the BMW M2 rear application. The assembly is engineered with steel tubing, CV joints, and universal joints already in place, reducing the need to rebuild worn driveline components during service. Part number 986-994 is a direct-fit style replacement for select 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 BMW M2 models.
This part cross-references BMW OE part number 26118047169 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Driveline vibration from worn or out-of-balance shaft components
- Clunking or driveline noise from failed joints
- Excess play caused by worn yokes or shaft wear
- Service delays from rebuilding multiple driveline parts separately
- Rear driveline replacement needs on BMW M2 vehicles
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify compressed length, flange-to-flange measurements, and end connection style before installation. This assembly uses bolt-on ends and is pre-greased, so confirm the vehicle’s rear driveline configuration matches the listed fitment before removal of the original shaft. For BMW M2 service, compare the existing shaft’s length and mounting points to the specifications listed for part 986-994.
Quality Assurance
Dorman supplies this drive shaft as a complete replacement assembly with new internal and external driveline components. The pre-balanced construction and standard replacement design support consistent fitment for the listed BMW M2 applications.
