Used RAM Drive Shafts You Can Trust

RAM trucks are built for hard work—hauling, towing, and daily job-site use. When a drive shaft begins to fail in a RAM, symptoms usually show up during load changes, towing, or suspension movement, such as driveline thud, vibration under acceleration, or shudder when pulling heavy loads.

A tested used RAM drive shaft restores solid torque delivery, improves towing stability, and protects drivetrain components like the transmission, carrier bearing, and rear differential—without the cost of new OEM parts.

Whether you drive a RAM 1500, 2500, 3500, Power Wagon, or ProMaster, we help keep your truck strong and dependable.

What Does a Drive Shaft Do in a RAM?

The drive shaft transfers engine power from the transmission or transfer case to the rear differential. In RAM trucks—especially long-wheelbase and heavy-duty models—the drive shaft must handle high torque, axle movement, and suspension travel.

Primary functions include:

  • Delivering torque under heavy loads
  • Supporting towing and payload capacity
  • Absorbing rear suspension movement
  • Maintaining drivetrain alignment

A worn drive shaft can reduce towing safety and drivetrain durability.

What Makes Our Used RAM Drive Shafts Different?

Each used RAM drive shaft goes through a strict multi-point inspection:

  • Removed from a running RAM donor truck
  • Inspected for tube straightness and dent damage
  • Universal joints checked for load-related wear
  • Center support bearings inspected on two-piece shafts
  • Balance verified for highway and towing use
  • VIN-matched for wheelbase and drivetrain configuration

Only shafts that meet RAM work-truck standards are approved for sale.
