A replacement driveshaft combining slip yoke and universal joint connectors, the Dorman 986-271 measures 42.25 inches in length with a 3.5-inch shaft diameter and 0.083-inch wall thickness. Fits the 2003-2005 Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari. The shaft is manufactured from drawn over mandrel (DOM) seamless steel tubing and arrives fully pre-assembled and dynamically balanced for immediate installation.

Constructed in the United States from 100% new components rather than remanufactured materials, the unit features a universal joint end connection that provides angular flexibility for various drivetrain applications and vehicle configurations.
