my 94 has 3 diffrent yokes in the drive shaft this still gonna work? says it will but i’m not sureJacob B.Sep 05, 2021
Best Answer:Hi Jacob, I'm glad to assist you. This has 2 yokes located on the front and rear section of this rear driveshaft. It would be best if you could provide your vehicle's complete VIN number for us to check the correct and matching driveshaft you need. Your truck as 2 sections of driveshaft which is the front and rear. Do you need both or the rear section only? I hope this helps.
