Detailed Description

This Dorman axle shaft, part number 630-212, is engineered as an OE-style replacement for select 1997-2003 Ford F-150 and 1997-2000 Ford Expedition rear right applications. It is designed for vehicles with an 8.8 in. ring gear and specific differential and stud configurations, making it important to verify axle tag number, locking or non-locking rear differential type, and 12 mm stud requirements before ordering. The carbon steel solid shaft construction and included bearing and seal support a complete axle shaft service on the correct application.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., AXK202, F75Z4234NA) for the same application.

• Noise or vibration from a worn axle shaft assembly
