Dorman 932-982 Drive Shaft Repair Kit Compatible with Select Models

It's what I needed said it fit my vehicle but it didn't fit. Returned without any problems.

Does not fit most earlier Subarus. Listing said "Fits 2004 Subaru Baja". Subarus of this model year range take a 22mm x 35mm u-joint. This u-joint is ~24.5 x ~38mm. Had to return this item because listing was in error and did not state the u-joint critical measurements. Amazon listings need to do a better job in descriptions.

Short:This part does not fit a factory 2008 Nissan Rogue driveshaft, but Dorman states this on their website, so that's not a problem. A part that fits and is easy to install is a Rockford 430-11A. A better part that requires more skill and tack welding is a Spicer 5-3201X.Longer:After looking at six universal joints for a 2008 Nissan Rogue, I decided the Spicer 5-3201X was the best fit. Since the factory universal joints are staked in, it's not very easy to remove them, and there are no replacement parts that fit properly. I saw where people have replaced them, but used an expensive ebay part that intentionally had its identification removed. I suspected that the ebay seller was not having parts made, but was reselling a part that few people knew about and charging a premium for this secret. I determined that I would find this part. I started with the Dorman 932-982, which also appears to be NAPA 666-2063-1, which is advertised as a replacement for a Dorman Nissan Rogue driveshaft. I agree, this may fit a Dorman replacement driveshaft, but did not fit my factory driveshaft since the diameter of the caps was too big. This actually shows that Dorman engineered a great part, since the staked in caps are so thin, all universal joints with conventional thickness caps that fit the factory holes have a significantly smaller cross diameter. Since most of the aftermarket parts are greaseable, and thus hollow (hollow likely weaker, see measurements below), there is a substantial difference between them and the solid, non-greaseable factory part with the thin caps. Dorman must have thought so too, and made the caps bigger to allow for a bigger cross. What's also nice about the Dorman part is that four different sets of snap rings are included, with different thicknesses, allowing for fit adjustment if needed. But, this part didn't fit my factory driveshaft, so on to another part.Based on cap size, I found several other parts to try. The Rockford 430-11 and apparently compatible TUS-11 from the U-joint Store were next. For these the caps fit, but they looked so tiny I worried about their strength, especially the TUS-11, which appeared to be a budget design intended to be compatible with the Rockford part. The needle bearings on the TUS caps were a larger diameter than the Rockford, which seems good, but that required the cross shafts to be a smaller diameter, making for a noticeably smaller and lighter part. Most importantly, if wanting to use the snap rings, the spacing for these two parts is wrong.Two other parts I tried that have the incorrect snap ring spacing were the Neapco 1-0431 and Spicer 5-3201X. These are much larger parts than the -11 styles described above. Basically, instead of having the caps appear to be sunken into the hole on the driveshaft, they are fully extended and even stick out just a bit. The cross on these parts are visibly much larger and heavier. The problem is, the snap ring spacing is wrong, so the snap rings won't install and there is nothing to hold the caps in place.As you can tell, I'm not saving money or time at this point, but I wanted to figure this out. I decided that the Rockford 430-11A would probably work, since it has the correct cap size, and the snap ring width compared to the others I tried seemed like it might work. One of the reasons for not buying the ebay part is because it cost two or three times as much that a universal joint should. The Rockford 430-11A looked to be a good price, but there were few sellers, and where it was available, the shipping was high. I started to consider the ebay part, if for no other reason the return policy looked good. As I expected, the ebay part turned out to be the Rockford 430-11A, but with identifying marks on the documentation removed. Even though it cost more than it should, it was actually only a little more than buying a single part from other sellers, though buying two or more from the other sources and combining shipping would have been significantly cheaper. Yes, the 430-11A looks like it would install, including the snap rings, without modifcation. The problem is, the universal joints on a Nissan Rogue were not designed to be replaced, so there are no machined surfaces for the snap rings to be seated against. The area the snap rings would sit against is at an angle, not straight, so only a fraction of the snap ring even touches the driveshaft, and not being machined, you are left with the tolerances of the as-forged part. On my driveshaft, the spacing of the snap rings with the 11A part would still allow over .050" of play. What was the point of a simple installation if the part wouldn't line up? Depending on as-forged tolerances, this part might work on some people's driveshafts, but for this price, I didn't want it. To be fair, Rockford does not advertise this part for the Nissan Rogue, so this is not a complaint about this part as it was designed, but only as it is being sold by others for the wrong application. With the smaller snap ring spacing, this part was also the smallest and lightest of all the parts I tried, by a wide margin. I expect this contributed to the failure shown on the most popular YouTube video about Nissan Rogue universal joint replacement. Yes, his driveshaft was worn by failure of the factory universal joint, but the new ebay part, with the secret identify of Rockford 430-11A, was so small it barely filled the holes on the driveshaft, having little structural support. If the YouTuber used the Spicer 5-3201X, it would probably still be there today, but admittedly is harder to install.Looking at the poor spacing and tiny size of the 430-11A on the driveshaft caused me to reconsider the Neapco 1-0431 and Spicer 5-3201X. (Remember, there is nothing wrong with the Rockford 430-11A, it just was not intended by Rockford to be used on the Nissan Rogue). The Neapco and Spicer are large parts, so large that the cross won't fit on the drivesaft without modification, or will it? The Neapco is 1 mm longer tip to tip than the Spicer. It would not fit without grinding something. The Spicer, however, looked hopeful. I did not want to grind the driveshaft or the bearing surfaces on the universal joint. I did lightly grind, smoothing really, the forging marks on the universal joint cross. These are not machined surfaces the bearings ride on, and I did not grind so deep to affect the intended dimensions of the part. Just by smoothing these little ridges, the cross fit! Now I had the largest possible universal joint that would fit without modifying the driveshaft, and really without any significant modification to the universal joint. With the caps installed, the driveshaft holes are completely filled with the caps sticking out a millimeter or so. I centered them by eye, which seems ridiculous, but I can easily see .050", and that's how far off the ebay part was. I then temporarily put the driveshaft on the car, checked it with an angle gauge, rotated, and checked again, to ensure it was centered. I then lightly tack welded the universal joint at the caps, which I can still service if needed. Success! It works great with no vibration, and I feel like I have a much stronger part than the one that would just snap in place. If you have a hard time finding the Spicer, the Rockford 430-11 (not the 11A) and the TUS-11 might also work if you tack weld them.Conclusion:If you want to replace the universal joint on your Nissan Rogue, reconsider. Because they are staked in, they do not easily remove. You may need to break them out. Once removed, there is nothing that is actually made to replace them. You could buy a Rockford 430-11A, or a similar clone (probably a TUS-11A, and there are others), but these are not designed to fit (the U-Joint Store even told me that; helpful people, by the way). If you think you can handle it, and get the parts cheap enough, it may be worthwhile, but if spending $50 each and still not replacing the center joint and the carrier bearing, which could also fail, would you be better off getting a new $200 replacement, which actually has replaceable universal joints? In the end, I spent $30 on the Spicer universal joint, and will do it again if the other one goes out, but unless you like adventures and tack welding, I don't recommend this to others.(go to See all reviews > so the table will be wider and easier to read)-----------------------------cross------------weight-------------------------------------------------------------------ring gap spread-------------------crosstype------------------diameter-weight---with caps---greaseable---solid---grease hole---cap diameter---inside---outside---cap to cap---tip to tip---snap ring width---factory---------------18mm----232g-----damaged---no--------------yes-----NA-------------24.1mm---------NA-------------------damaged-----58mm-----NADorman 932-982---14.6mm-164g------330g--------no--------------no------5.4mm---------25mm-----------40mm---45mm-----66.2mm------59mm-----1.89 / 1.94 / 2 / 2.03mmTUS-11--------------12.8mm--146g-----294g--------yes-------------no------5.3mm---------24.1mm---------45.5mm-49mm-----66.2mm-----59.6mm---1.47mmRockford 430-11---13.3mm--142g-----280g--------yes-------------no------6.3mm---------24.1mm---------45.2mm-49.5mm--70.5mm------59.7mm---1.47mmRockford 430-11A-13.3mm--110g-----246g--------yes-------------no------5mm-----------24.1mm---------38.5mm-42.5mm---59mm--------53.1mm---1.5mmNeapco 1-0431-----14.7mm--214g----350g---------yes-------------no------5mm-----------24.1mm---------45.5mm-51mm----70.7mm------65.2mm----1.47mmSpicer 5-3201X----14.6mm--198g-----334g---------yes------------no------6.7mm---------24.1mm---------45.4mm-51mm-----70.5mm------64.2mm---1.53mm
