Used Driveshaft Buying Guide
Know which driveshaft you need before you buy.
| Type | How it is built | Common on | What to match |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-piece | A single tube with a U-joint or CV joint at each end | Cars, SUVs and short-wheelbase trucks | Length, yoke type and joint type |
| Two-piece | Two sections joined by a center support bearing | Long-bed and crew-cab pickups | Overall length, center bearing and yokes |
| Front shaft (4WD) | Connects the transfer case to the front axle | 4WD trucks and SUVs | Transfer case, front axle and length |
One or two piece?
Long pickups often use a two-piece shaft with a center bearing. One-piece vs two-piece
U-joint or whole shaft?
A worn U-joint can be replaced alone if the tube is straight and balanced. U-joint vs driveshaft
Measure before you buy
Measure center to center of the U-joints to confirm the length. Full buyer’s guide
Used Driveshaft FAQs
Where can I buy a used driveshaft online?
You can request a used driveshaft quote from FirstChoice Used Auto Parts online or by calling 1-888-383-2439, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM EST. Send a request anytime and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We are based in Louisville, Kentucky, match every driveshaft to your VIN, drivetrain and length, and ship across the United States.
How much does a used driveshaft cost?
Used driveshaft prices vary with the vehicle, front or rear position, one-piece or two-piece design and availability. A used OEM driveshaft usually costs up to 70% less than a new one from a dealer, and you get 10% off when you order by phone. The fastest way to an exact price is a quote using your VIN.
What are the signs of a bad driveshaft?
Common signs include vibration that grows with speed, clunking when you shift into drive or reverse, squeaking or clicking from worn U-joints, and shuddering on takeoff. On two-piece shafts, a worn center bearing can also cause a rumble.
How do I find the correct driveshaft for my vehicle?
Start with your VIN, then confirm the drivetrain (2WD, 4WD or AWD), wheelbase, cab and bed length on pickups, and transmission. The length and yoke type must match. Our specialists check all of this before quoting.
Should I replace the U-joint or the whole driveshaft?
If the tube is straight, balanced and undamaged, replacing a worn U-joint can be enough. If the shaft is bent, dented or out of balance, replace the driveshaft. See U-joint failure vs driveshaft replacement.
What is the difference between a one-piece and two-piece driveshaft?
A one-piece driveshaft is a single tube. A two-piece driveshaft uses two sections and a center support bearing, which is common on long pickups. Read one-piece vs two-piece driveshafts.
Do your used driveshafts come with a warranty?
Yes. Every used driveshaft comes with a 30-day parts-only warranty. Labor costs are not covered. Full terms are in our warranty policy.
Can I drive with a bad driveshaft?
It is not recommended. A failing driveshaft or U-joint can separate at speed, damage the transmission or axle, and cause a loss of control. Have it inspected as soon as you notice vibration or clunking.
Do you ship used driveshafts across the United States?
Yes. Driveshafts ship to the billing address on your card, with tracking details emailed within 2 days of shipment. See the shipping policy for details.
