Detailed Description

This Dorman drive shaft is built for rear driveline service on Ford E-250 Econoline and Ford E-350 Econoline models. The assembly is supplied as a pre-balanced unit with steel tubing and new driveline components, helping simplify replacement when the original shaft is worn, damaged, or out of balance. Part number 986-525 is listed for 1990-1996 Ford E-250 Econoline, rear; 1990-1996 Ford E-350 Econoline, rear with no 4.10 axle ratio; and 1991-1996 Ford E-250 Econoline, rear. This part cross-references Ford OE numbers F0UZ4602E and YC2Z4602EA for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Driveline vibration from a worn or unbalanced shaft
  • Noise from failed universal joints
  • Damage to the original shaft tube or yokes
  • Driveline service needs after component wear
  • Replacement of a shaft with incorrect length or fitment

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear application, compressed length, shaft diameter, and axle ratio before installation. This assembly is not overall-length adjustable and does not include CV joints, axle nut, or slip yoke. Confirm the vehicle is a 1990-1996 Ford E-250 Econoline, rear; a 1990-1996 Ford E-350 Econoline, rear with no 4.10 axle ratio; or a 1991-1996 Ford E-250 Econoline, rear before ordering Dorman 986-525.
