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.
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:

Each used RAM drive shaft goes through a strict multi-point inspection:
Only shafts that meet RAM work-truck standards are approved for sale.
