This intermediate shaft plays a critical role in transferring power from the transmission to the passenger-side axle, and is supported by a bearing housing mounted directly to the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"252\" data-end=\"548\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"740\"\u003eIn recent years, Mopar discontinued the OEM intermediate shaft, leaving Neon SRT-4 owners with limited options—primarily sourcing used, aging components of unknown condition and reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"740\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003eAt Modern Performance, we are committed to supporting the Neon SRT-4 community and keeping these cars on the road. Recognizing the need for a dependable, high-quality replacement, we set out to develop a brand-new intermediate shaft solution that meets—and exceeds—the standards of the original part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"742\" data-end=\"1042\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1396\"\u003eOur intermediate shaft is manufactured from heat-treated chromium alloy steel, selected specifically for its excellent strength, wear resistance, and long-term durability under demanding conditions. Each shaft is produced with careful attention to material quality and machining precision to ensure consistent performance and reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1044\" data-end=\"1396\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003eTo complement the shaft, we designed an all-new bearing housing machined from billet aluminum. This housing is powder coated for corrosion resistance and is paired with a premium-grade bearing to provide proper support, smooth operation, and extended service life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003eWe're also using a high-quality bearing with the same inner diameter as the OEM unit, but with a 15% larger outer diameter for increased load capacity, improved durability, and extended service life. The larger bearing design also reduces deflection and offers greater resistance to shock loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1398\" data-end=\"1616\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1798\"\u003eTo complete the package, we include high-quality ARP studs, along with extra-thick washers and tall flanged nuts, ensuring a secure and stable installation of the bearing housing to the engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1798\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1798\"\u003eLastly, to save you from the hassle of having to find a press to install the intermediate shaft bearing housing on the intermediate shaft, we have pressed the bearing onto the shaft for you, to make installation easier and faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1798\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1618\" data-end=\"1798\"\u003eNew C clip, and O ring included. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Modern Performance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43703293182030,"sku":"220179-KIT","price":419.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2902\/0238\/files\/mpxintermediateshaft5.jpg?v=1777486229","url":"https:\/\/www.modernperformance.com\/products\/intermediate-shaft","provider":"Modern Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
