The steel shaft uses a 2.5-inch diameter and 0.065-inch wall thickness, and the assembly is pre-balanced to support smooth operation after installation. It is an adjustable-length design, which helps with proper driveline setup on the listed Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner rear applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The Dorman 936-285 is a practical replacement choice when servicing a worn or damaged rear driveshaft on 2001-2007 Ford Escape, 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute, or 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2001-2006 Ford Escape, rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2007 Ford Escape, rear, to 1\/08\/07\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute, rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2005-2006 Mercury Mariner, rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 2007 Mercury Mariner, rear, to 1\/08\/07\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Problems This Part Addresses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDriveline vibration from a worn or out-of-balance shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClunking or knocking from failed CV joints or universal joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise caused by damaged yokes or tube wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoss of smooth power transfer to the rear driveline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement needs after shaft damage or corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eVerify rear-position fitment and confirm the vehicle build date for 2007 Ford Escape and 2007 Mercury Mariner applications listed as to 1\/08\/07.
