Market analysis

How much does a used Dodge Journey drive shaft cost?

Asking prices for a used Dodge Journey drive shaft are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 10 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 5% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $131.

Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $113, while 2019 tops the table at $212. Parts from 2009–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 11 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Dodge Journey sits 34% below the Ram 1500 ($190), 45% below the Chevy Silverado 1500 ($228), and 49% 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Examine center carrier bearing rubber: Inspect two-piece driveshaft center bearings for cracked rubber mounting rings or noisy, dry support bearings.
  4. Measure overall compressed length: Verify flange-to-flange operating length exactly, as transmission options and wheelbase variations alter shaft dimensions.
  5. Index flange alignment before installation: Mark mating yokes to the differential flange before installation to prevent high-speed driveline vibration.
