Product Details
The Cardone Driveshaft / Prop Shaft line focuses on OE-style replacement shafts engineered from extensive testing of materials and manufacturing processes. Part number 65-9293 is designed as a front drive shaft for applications that require a 29-3/8 in. (746 mm) collapsed length measurement from the CV face to the centerline of the furthest U-joint on the opposite end. The steel tube construction, greasable service points, and dynamic balancing support smoother power transfer and consistent driveline performance.
This part cross-references Ford (e.g., F77A4376BB, XL2Z4A376AA) for the same application.
