Product Details
CARDONE Driveshaft / Prop Shaft 65-2003 is a new rear drive shaft designed for applications that require OE-style dimensions and balanced operation. CARDONE applies extensive testing and engineering experience to prop shaft design, with attention to materials, fit, and rotational balance. The result is a replacement driveshaft intended to restore driveline smoothness on vehicles such as the Ford Explorer, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, Ford Taurus X, and Mercury Sable.
This part cross-references Ford and Lincoln OE numbers 8G1Z4R602A and 8G1Z4R602B for the same application.
Common Driveline Issues This Part Addresses
- Driveline vibration at speed
- Worn or noisy prop shaft operation
- Excess play from a deteriorated driveshaft assembly
- Service concerns related to slip yoke wear
- Fitment problems from a damaged or out-of-spec rear driveshaft
Installation Notes and Fitment
Compatible with rear applications only. Fits 2011-2015 Ford Explorer, rear; 2008-2015 Ford Taurus, rear; 2009-2015 Lincoln MKS, rear; 2008-2009 Ford Taurus X, rear; and 2009 Mercury Sable, rear. Verify the 83-15/16 in. length and flange-face measurement before installation to confirm application match. Because this is a greasable driveshaft, service intervals should follow vehicle and driveline maintenance requirements.
Quality Assurance
Each CARDONE prop shaft is engineered to OE-style specifications and dynamically balanced for smooth operation. The new steel construction and balanced assembly support consistent driveline performance across the listed Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury applications.
