Rear driveshaft

[Trevor Partington]

Hey guys so I was towing my dads focus from PA to TX and my rear drive shaft went . Does anyone know where I can get a replacement driveshaft for relatively cheap ? Since I am just going to be getting to our new place on 10/4/13 and haven't found a job yet . You can email or text me . [email protected] or 5702990778

Also it's the limited V8 4x4

"went" What's wrong with it, specifically? You may be able to get it repaired.

The u joint and the barring up by the tranny Are both shot and they don't sale just the u joint for my model

 

[Yardsale]

Both? That's damage that has been in the works for a while.



Get it repaired at a drive line shop. Pretty much any type u-joint can be welded on. A complete rebuild with two new u-joints that you can replaced (easily) later is what you want.

there is no drive shaft shop by you? Any rebuilder? Those parts have to be around....



OR a junk yard..

Odd that the U-joint isnt seperate. Odd that the trans tailshaft bearing went out.

All this on a gen2..

How many miles on your trac.

I had the entire driveshaft of my 2010 replaced under warranty due to a bad U-joint. The Ford dealer service tech mangled the driveshaft yoke so badly trying to remove and install a new U-joint that the dealer finally had to order a complete new shaft.

Not sure what the problem is- U-joints are not a new technology- folks have been replacing them for years. I have done a few myself.

Just had my drive shaft replaced due to a noisy hanger bearing. They told me it wasn't serviceable

ya know I think a human knee is a bit more integrated and a lot harder to service than any ujoint but that won't stop them from telling you its not serviceable if they can make more money that way.

The mileage on my trac is 110,000 .. I'm gonna look for a shop today to find out what's up
