And that can make ordering a replacement driveshaft confusing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you know which one is right for your application? One way is to measure your existing driveshaft and compare it to the dimensions in the product description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, in order to do that, you have to have access to the original product description and the driveshaft length. In other words, <strong>you have to know the proper length for the driveshaft the vehicle had when it was built.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exceptions to this would be those times when a vehicle is being or has been modified by lengthening or shortening the frame or even installing a different type of transmission with a shorter or longer output shaft and housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the kinds of changes being discussed above, simply measuring your original driveshaft will give you the proper driveshaft length. But you have to know how to take that measurement the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driveshaft Measurement How-To<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Measuring your original driveshaft is a fairly straightforward affair. For the most accurate results, it&rsquo;s best to remove the driveshaft from the vehicle. But if you choose to leave the driveshaft installed, be sure the vehicle is at ride height before taking any measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/automotive-driveshaft-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"automotive driveshaft\" class=\"wp-image-13495\" style=\"width:1024px;height:683px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/automotive-driveshaft-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/automotive-driveshaft-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/automotive-driveshaft-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/automotive-driveshaft-600x400.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/automotive-driveshaft-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/automotive-driveshaft.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The length of a driveshaft varies depending on the vehicle&rsquo;s configuration.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Exactly where you measure the driveshaft will depend on its design.
