Product Notes

This Dorman OE FIX drive axle shaft eliminates the need to buy an entire differential or use salvage yard parts to repair a failed shaft for certain 4WD Ram 1500 and Classic pickups. The OE axle shaft is not available as an individual part, and the only way to get a new one is to order a complete new front differential assembly or go to a salvage yard. This OE FIX shaft directly replaces a failed shaft, restoring function to the truck's front differential.
