Fitment and Application Details

Compatible with rear driveline service on 2015-2018 Ford Edge, rear, and 2016 Lincoln MKX, rear, to 8/17/16. This Dorman 986-320 drive shaft is a direct replacement option for vehicles that need a complete rear shaft assembly rather than individual component repair.

This part cross-references Ford OE part number F2GZ4R602D for the same application.

What This Drive Shaft Helps Address

• Vibration from a worn or out-of-balance rear drive shaft
• Clunking or driveline noise from worn CV or universal joints
• Excess play caused by damaged yokes or shaft tubing
• Loss of smooth power transfer through the rear driveline
• Service needs where the original shaft assembly is no longer reliable

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year, make, model, and the Lincoln MKX build date note before installation. Confirm shaft length, end type, and driveline configuration against the original part. Because this assembly is not adjustable and does not include an axle nut, reuse or source any vehicle-specific fasteners required by the application.

Quality Assurance

Dorman supplies this replacement drive shaft as a complete assembly built with new structural and joint components for consistent fit and function. The part number 986-320 is engineered as a service replacement for the listed Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX rear applications.
