Where the Acura TLX drive shaft is listed

Market analysis
How much does a used Acura TLX drive shaft cost?
Asking prices for a used Acura TLX drive shaft are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $120, while 2024 tops the table at $973. Parts from 2015–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Acura TLX sits 10% above the Ram 1500 ($190), 8% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($228), and 14% below the GMC Sierra 1500 ($243) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used drive shaft: what to check
- Flex universal joints and CV boots: Articulate each U-joint by hand to check for stiff binding, rusted needle bearings, or torn rubber constant-velocity boots.
- Inspect slip yoke splines and balance weights: Check male splines for twisting or galling, and verify that welded steel balance weights are present along the tube.
- Examine center carrier bearing rubber: Inspect two-piece driveshaft center bearings for cracked rubber mounting rings or noisy, dry support bearings.
- Measure overall compressed length: Verify flange-to-flange operating length exactly, as transmission options and wheelbase variations alter shaft dimensions.
- Index flange alignment before installation: Mark mating yokes to the differential flange before installation to prevent high-speed driveline vibration.
