Detailed Description
This Dorman drive shaft, part number 986-506, is built for 2018-2024 Ford Expedition rear applications with an 8.8 in. axle. It is a complete assembly that arrives pre-balanced and uses all-new yokes, tubes, and universal joints to replace a worn or damaged driveline component without rebuilding the original shaft. The steel construction, 56.125 in. compressed length, 3 in. shaft diameter, and 0.083 in. wall thickness support a direct-fit replacement for the specified Expedition configuration. This part cross-references Ford OE numbers JL1Z4602C and JL1Z4602F for the same application.
