Check the part number on your old shaft or run the VIN before ordering.

The assembly comes with the rubber flex disc at the transfer case end, the center support bearing and bracket, and a CV joint at the middle and rear of the shaft. On these trucks the center bearing rubber tears and the flex disc cracks, which shows up as a clunk when shifting into drive or reverse, a vibration that builds with speed, and a whine from under the center of the truck. A worn CV joint at the rear differential will also knock on take-off. Replacing the whole shaft fixes all of those wear points at once instead of chasing them one by one.

Install: mark the shaft position, unbolt the flex disc at the transfer case, the center bearing bracket and the CV flange at the rear differential, then drop the shaft out as one piece. Keep the shaft straight while handling so the center joint does not bend over, and use new CV flange bolts when you install it.
