Product Details

Cardone remanufactured prop shafts are processed with strict quality controls to help deliver stable driveline performance under normal road conditions. The original design is reviewed for potential improvements, and updated components are used where applicable to improve durability over the original configuration. This rear driveshaft for Ford Mustang applications uses a steel shaft with a 3.27 in. diameter and a compressed length of 50.75 in. (1289 mm).

Part number 65-2029 is built with bolt-on ends at both sides, includes universal joints and CV joints, and does not use a slip yoke. It is also non-greasable and does not include a grease fitting. If you are replacing a worn Mustang driveshaft that has vibration, noise, or driveline play, this remanufactured assembly addresses the shaft as a complete driveline component.

This part cross-references OE numbers 5R3Z4R602A and 6R3Z4R602C for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Driveline vibration at highway speeds
• Clunking or knocking from the rear driveline
• Excess play from worn joints or shaft components
• Noise caused by an out-of-balance prop shaft
• Loss of smooth power transfer to the rear axle

Installation Notes

Verify rear-position fitment before installation on 2005-2010 Ford Mustang models. Confirm the existing shaft length, end style, and driveline configuration match the listed specifications, including bolt-on ends and CV-style construction. Because this shaft is phased, proper orientation during installation is important for driveline alignment and vibration control.

Inspect mating surfaces, flange condition, and surrounding driveline components before installation. Replacing worn mounts, joints, or related hardware at the same time can help ensure the new shaft performs as intended.

Quality Assurance

Cardone remanufactured driveshafts are built using controlled remanufacturing processes, tested critical components, and dynamic balancing to support smooth operation. The product is new condition and engineered for consistent performance in the listed Ford Mustang rear applications.
