Fitment

FAQ

Will this fix my driveline vibration?

A worn shaft or u-joint is a common cause, but a failed carrier bearing or an out-of-phase shaft can cause the same symptom. Inspect the whole driveline before replacing one part.

Is the shaft balanced?

Demon builds these as direct-fit replacement shafts for the listed application.

Do I need to replace the carrier bearing too?

If the old shaft failed because of a carrier bearing, replacing only the shaft usually means doing the job twice.

Does this fit my machine?

Check the fitment section above against your year, model and trim. Demon lists this part only for the applications shown, and fitment is not guaranteed outside them.

What warranty does Demon offer?

See the specifications above for the warranty Demon lists on this part.

Why Demon

Demon Powersports developed this line through years of research and development, aiming at parts that outlast the stock component without a race-parts price. Their products go through testing before launch, and the heavy duty and X-Treme tiers are what they put behind their own racers.

Complete Your Can-Am Defender Build

Confirm your year, model and trim against the fitment above before ordering, and check the position line — some Demon parts are sold each and some as a set. If you are replacing a worn part, look at what wears alongside it: on a driveline that means the carrier bearing and u-joints, on the front end it means ball joints and tie rods. Replacing one worn component next to another about to fail is how people end up doing the job twice.
