Part Description
This OEM rear drive shaft assembly was removed from a 2008 Ford F250 Super Duty with 4×2 drivetrain configuration, 142-inch wheelbase, and 5.4L engine. The driveshaft has been professionally inspected for straightness, joint condition, and overall integrity. It is currently on the shelf and ready to ship immediately.
The rear drive shaft transfers power from the transmission to the rear differential in your truck. Common reasons for replacement include worn universal joints causing vibration, damaged shaft from road debris or impact, or bent shaft causing driveline vibration. A failing driveshaft can cause severe vibration, clunking noises during acceleration, or complete loss of power to the rear wheels.
