Product Details

Cardone’s Driveshaft / Prop Shaft line is developed from extensive testing and engineering experience, with attention to materials, balance, and long-term driveline performance. Part number 65-2001 is measured from CV joint flange face to CV joint flange face and is built as a front drive shaft for 2006-2014 Ford Expedition, 2009-2014 Ford F-150, 2006-2014 Lincoln Navigator, and 2010 Lincoln Mark LT applications. This part cross-references Ford and Lincoln OE numbers such as 7L1Z4A376A and AL3Z4A376C for the same application.

Common Driveline Issues Addressed

• Front-end vibration at highway speeds
• Noise from an out-of-balance or worn prop shaft
• Driveline wear related to slip yoke movement
• Loss of smooth power transfer from transfer case to front axle
• Replacement needs after shaft damage or corrosion

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s year, make, model, and front driveline configuration before ordering. Confirm the 30-1/2 in. length and flange-to-flange measurement method against the original shaft to ensure correct application. For best results, inspect related driveline components, including joints and mounting points, during replacement.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and tests prop shafts to meet OE performance expectations, and each unit is dynamically balanced for smooth operation. The Cardone 65-2001 is supplied new and built for consistent driveline performance in Ford Expedition, Ford F-150, Lincoln Navigator, and Lincoln Mark LT front applications.
