Product Details

Cardone Driveshaft / Prop Shaft part number 65-9449 is a front drive shaft for the Ford F-350, engineered from steel and built to OE-style specifications. CARDONE applies extensive testing and material analysis to its prop shaft line, focusing on dimensional accuracy, balance, and durability. This helps support smooth driveline operation in 1995-1996 Ford F-350 front applications where the original shaft length and balance are critical. If you are replacing a worn Ford F-350 front driveshaft, 65-9449 provides a direct-fit service part built around the original configuration.

What It Helps Address

  • Driveline vibration at highway or load-bearing speeds
  • Wear from dry or poorly lubricated slip yokes
  • Noise caused by an out-of-balance prop shaft
  • Fitment issues from incorrect shaft length or tubing size
  • Loss of smooth power transfer through the front driveline

Installation Notes

Compatible With 1995-1996 Ford F-350, front, with 35-1/2 in. (902 mm) long driveshaft. Verify measurement from the centerline of the furthest U-joint at one end to the centerline of the furthest U-joint on the opposite end of the collapsed prop shaft before installation. Confirm driveline configuration and dimensions against the original shaft to ensure proper fit. This part cross-references 172286 for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Cardone builds this driveshaft to OE form, fit, and function standards and balances each unit dynamically at 3200 RPM to support vibration-free operation and longer joint life. Part number 65-9449 is new and service-ready for front driveline replacement on the Ford F-350.
