The axle uses a conventional outboard joint, a male inboard joint, and spline-style shaft connections to match the specified vehicle configurations. TrakMotive identifies this part as a new component, and the manufacturer notes ISO 9001:1007 and TS 16949:2009 certified company processes.

For 2014 Ford Taurus and 2014 Lincoln MKS applications, the notes call out updated design details and production-date-specific coverage. For 2008-2009 Mercury Sable, verify center mounting bracket direction against the original axle before ordering.
