Model year matters too: 2020 units carry the lowest median at $191, while 2024 tops the table at $402. Parts from 2018–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2020 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.

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.
