Part Description

This Grade A rear drive shaft was removed from a 1997 Jeep Wrangler equipped with a 4-cylinder 2.5L engine and manual transmission. The driveshaft is designed for vehicles with Spicer 35 rear axle configuration and has been thoroughly inspected for proper operation. This OEM component is currently on the shelf and ready for immediate shipment.

The rear drive shaft transfers power from the transmission to the rear differential, making it essential for vehicle operation. Common replacement reasons include worn universal joints, damaged yokes, bent shaft from off-road use, or vibration issues during acceleration. Jeep Wranglers are particularly susceptible to driveshaft wear due to their off-road capabilities and frequent four-wheel drive usage.

I had a great experience. They didn’t just look up the part I needed they took the time to explain how to install it and made sure I understood everything. I even received a call back, which I really appreciated. Everyone I spoke with was friendly and patient, and I never felt brushed off. I truly felt taken care of. Highly recommend if you want knowledgeable people who actually care about helping you. Kristy Thanks Guys!

Drove from Connecticut to get here. Had parts for a relatively rare car that dozens of other places didn't have. I got a hood, fender and bumper cover that were in near mint condition for a fifteen year old car. They pulled all the parts for me and had everything ready within an hour. Very reasonably priced. Highly recommend
