Cardone 65-9293 Front Drive Shaft

Cardone 65-9293 is a new front drive shaft for select Ford, Mazda, and Mercury applications. Built for OE-style form, fit, and function, it is engineered for smooth driveline operation in vehicles such as the Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, and Mazda B4000.

Key Features

  • Steel drive shaft construction for driveline strength
  • Built to match original equipment dimensions and function
  • 100% dynamically balanced at 3200 RPM for reduced vibration
  • Greasable design for serviceable joint maintenance
  • Lubricated slip yokes help reduce premature wear
  • 29 3/8 in. overall length and 2.01 in. tubing outer diameter

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.

  • Fitment problems from an incorrect shaft length or balance

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the collapsed length, CV-face measurement, and front position before ordering. This shaft is intended for direct replacement on the listed Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, Mazda B3000, Mazda B4000, and Mercury Mountaineer applications. Confirm driveline configuration and compare the original shaft to the 29-3/8 in. (746 mm) specification during installation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone engineers and balances each prop shaft to OE-style standards, with dynamic balancing performed at 3200 RPM to help reduce vibration and extend joint life. The greasable design and lubricated slip yokes support long-term serviceability in daily-driven driveline applications.
