RAM

The most reliable way is to select your exact model and engine variant in our search tool. Because the RAM 1500 is available with several different cab and bed lengths, the length of the propeller shaft varies. You should also check whether your truck uses a one-piece shaft or a two-piece prop shaft with a centre bearing.

The most common symptoms are vibrations through the body at speeds above 50 km/h, clunking noises when shifting between Drive and Reverse, and squeaking sounds that increase with road speed, which often indicate dry or worn universal joints.

In many cases, you can replace just the universal joints if the shaft itself is straight and in good condition. However, if the shaft has taken an impact, is out of balance or has worn splines, we recommend replacing the entire propeller shaft to ensure a durable repair.

Usually not when it comes to drivetrain components. The wheelbase differs substantially between these models, meaning that propeller shafts and sometimes brake lines and mounting brackets have different lengths and fittings.

Vibration during acceleration is often caused by worn inner CV joints (on 4WD models) or issues with the propeller shaft universal joints and centre bearing. It can also stem from altered prop shaft angles if the vehicle has been lifted.

Yes, we supply components for both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive RAM models. However, it is essential to select the correct drive type when searching, as 4WD models feature an additional front propeller shaft and different front drive shafts.
