The only replacable parts on an axle are the axle boots. The axle constant velocity joints take special equipment to rebuild the half-shafts.
Axle shaft seal.Axle shaft seal.
To enable constant velocity. It keeps a shaft turning through a range of angles.
Remove the old one, by removing axle nut and ball joint, then swing strut and hub assembly over.. Tap shaft out at transmission side then pull out as complete unit. Ensure that everything is clean before installing new shaft.. to install repeat process in reverse..
While the CV (constant velocity) joint is "servciable", most people just replace the entire half-shaft / axle. Especially since they're only about $70-80.To get started with how to replace one, see the "Related Questions" below for replacing wheel bearings - once the axle is disconnected from the steering knuckle, it's mostly just a matter of pulling/prying it out of the transmission.
If the Ford F-150 is a 4X4 , yes , it has constant velocity joints on the front axle shafts
Yes. Zero velocity is a velocity; if it is always zero then it is a constant velocity.

To allow the drive axle to transmit same power while car is steering and axle/ hub angle is changing.
